Session var function

[Anon]

Hey, I want to make a function to set all my vars, the code in this function works outside of a function, but not in one.

function var_set($varname, $value)
{
$$varname = $value;
session_register($$varname);
}

I have also tried setting with $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$varname] = $value...but no good either. Any ideas why this isn't working would be appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry I guess I didn't look hard enough before I asked, but to do it you need to make the var global..like this:

function var_set($varname, $value)
{
global $$varname;
$$varname = $value;
session_register($varname);
}

function var_get($varname)
{
global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
return $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$varname];
}

Just seems like an easier way to deal with vars to me, if I helped anyone else out you're welcome.
