Sessions

Does the SessionID have to registered? Can you help me on why this code does not work?

login.php

session_register(luser);
session_register(user_name);
session_register(password);
session_register(access_level);
session_register(SessionID);				

// Set the Value of these Variable equal to the mysql_query string
list($luser,$user_name,$password,$access_level) = mysql_fetch_row($result);

// Generate A Random Session ID
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$SessionID = substr(md5(rand(0,9999999)), 0, 8);

logout.php

session_start();

// Unregister all session variables
session_unregister(user);
session_unregister(user_name);
session_unregister(password);
session_unregister(access_level);
session_unregister(SessionID);
session_destroy();

I suggest
1) Using Double Quotes in the Session Functions
2) $SessionID Should be $_SESSION['SessionID'];

Whats the difference between using quotes and no quotes?

Not much but its what the people suggest you use. Just makes it look nicer.

Thanks for your help!

When I changed the sessionid variable around it did not work anymore. Why is the $PHPSESSID(default in ini file) different from what I set it as ($SessionID).

Are you sure of what you're saying ??? Personnally, if I don't use quotes, PHP tells me sweetly a little error !
