Session is NOT registered... Why?

rIkLuNd

The first variable gets registered, but not the second one! Why?

<?php
session_start();
 // Some variables from a form on 'login.php'

$LoggedIn = "LoggedIn";
session_register($LoggedIn); // This one gets registered

$User = $HTTP_POST_VARS['MM_User_V'];
session_register($User); // This one does not get registered

header("Location: private.php");

?>

This code is in 'private.php', and only shows $LoggedIn...

<?php
session_start();

foreach($HTTP_SESSION_VARS as $key => $val)
{
   echo "".$key." <-> ".$val."<br>\n";
}

?>

Plz, help me!

try $_POST[] instead of HTTP_POST_VARS

try without single quotes

verify method on submission form

also, what happens if you try session_register directly on the passed variable?

I think I've tried all that... But thanks for trying to help me!

Considered:

session_start();
 // Some variables from a form on 'login.php'

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['LoggedIn'] = "LoggedIn";
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['User'] = $HTTP_POST_VARS['MM_User_V'];

header("Location: private.php");

Two other things:

If this is being run on PHP4.1 or later, it's easier to use $SESSION[] and $POST[]
If you do use $HTTP*VARS[], and this is inside a function, you'll need to declare them global.
