Overwriting Session Var ... stumped.

[jtown]

I'm seeing something very weird with my Session vars. If I create a session var on one page and set: $_SESSION['username'] = "James"

The on another page I do this:

$username="John"
if(isset($SESSION['username']))
printf('%s', $SESSION['username']);

It prints "John"!!!!! What the?!?! Is this the way it's supposed to work? I'm stumped as I thought this wouldn't be the way.

Make register_global = Off in php.ini, this shoud solve your problem ...

So this is normal behavior with register_global = on?

Am I allowed to do this if I'm on a shared host?
