session questions?

[uberbastard]

i am attempting to set up functions to handle all my session work, and when i use the code below, the values for the session variables don't get registered properly. any help would be appreciated:

/ function file (functions.inc)/
<?
function session_init($eid) {
session_start();
$id = eid;
session_register("id");
}
?>

/ main file (index.php)/
<?
require('functions.inc');
session_init("some value");

echo "session value = $id\n";
?>

followup info on above question:

on a side note, if i just set up my sessions in linear code format (vs. breaking it down in classes and functions), it works fine and i am able to pull the session value from any other page.

It looks to me like you are not setting eid to a variable.

Try: $id = $eid;

oops...typo in my question...thx for pointing that out.
i actually do have that bit in the actual code.
