Use of Sessions

[microbluechip]

Hi all,

What is the difference between using each of the following to assign session information. Or rather in which situations should each be used?

$_SESSION['name'] = "Philip";



$name = "Philip";
session_register($name);

If you want your script to work regardless of register_globals, you need to instead use the $SESSION array as $SESSION entries are automatically registered. If your script uses session_register(), it will not work in environments where the PHP directive register_globals is disabled
