Registering Session Vars in functions

[Anon]

Hi all,

When I register a session variable within a function, the session variable doesn't seem to get stored. Can anyone tell me why and how to overcome this problem?

EG

<?php

session_start();

function reg()
{
$var1 = "any";
session_register("var1");
}

reg();

?>

The value of "$var1" empty on any other pages.

Thanks!

I have found the solution

You need to make the variable global.

I guess that means that the variable must be in scope at the end of the script for it's value to be kept as a session variable, can anyone confirm that ?
