ive figured out one problem already but im not sure how to resolve it...im using

PHP Code:

global $_SESSION; 


but the code

PHP Code:

session_register("username");
                session_register("userid");

        }

        $_SESSION['sl'] = true;
        $sl=true;
        session_register("sl"); 


is still there and i dont know what to replace it with becuase im pretty sure i need the "username" and "userid" part of the script. I know im not supposed to use globals and the session_register but what variable should i use instead?

im not even sure if ive even figured out the first **** problem...

First things first, you don't need to declare the $_SESSION super global array as global. Next try using this instead...

PHP Code:

session_start();

$_SESSION['username'] = 'foo';
$_SESSION['userid'] = 0;
$_SESSION['sl'] = true; 


Oh, and here is a great reference...
