Session Help

[ollmorris]

I have some code:

<?php session_start(vote);session_register("vote");?>

<?php

if($vote | $id){

if(session_is_registered("vote")){

echo "<p align=\"$error_align\" class=\"$writing_class\">$start_writing$duplicate_caption$end_writing</p>";
} else {echo "WORKS";} ?>

where vote is a variable. However my above code doesn't work. The session doesn't seem to start. Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks

session start() uses no arguments.

session_register() and session_is_registered() assumes global variables are turned on, and is not a secure way to assign variables. Assign and retrieve your variables through $_SESSION or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. You can find examples on this page:
