I have a case where the session values appear to lose their value. I
tracked it down with some print_r inserted. Here are the lines:
print '<br 1: '; print_r($_SESSI ON);
$adminLevel = $_POST['edit_level_lis t'];
print '<br 2: '; print_r($_SESSI ON);
Here is the output:
1: Array ( [adminLevel] =SUPERUSER [clientID] =0 )
2: Array ( [adminLevel] =[clientID] =0 )
There is nothing special about the variable$adminl evel. It is just an
ordinary local variable. Field edit_level_list is a select list.
If I change the name of the variable from $adminLevel to $foo, then the
session variable does not lose its value.
If I then immediately set $adminLevel = $foo, the session variable loses
its value.

You probably have register_global s set to on - which is should NOT be.
Turn it off.

Can you reproduce the bug by doing something like:
-----%<----- foo.php ----------------------------------------
<?php
$_SESSION=array ('adminLevel' ='SUPERUSER', 'clientID' =0);
$_POST['edit_level_lis t'] = 'foo';
print '<br 1: '; print_r($_SESSI ON);
$adminLevel = $_POST['edit_level_lis t'];
print '<br 2: '; print_r($_SESSI ON);
?>
-----%<----- foo.php ----------------------------------------
$ php foo.php
BTW, what does php -i show as your PHP version. Mine's 5.2.5.
Best regards,

You probably have register_global s set to on - which is should NOT be.
Turn it off.
I don't -- unless the hosting company has that by default somehow. I
never do anything with register_global s.

You didn't because it got stuck in my emailer outbox for some reason. I
must have had a connection failure and didn't notice it as I left the
computer to go to sleep. Here it is:
====
I just did a phpinfo. It showed that register_global s is, indeed, on.
By default it is set to off as of PHP4.2 and the version I am running is
5.2.6. The hosting company must have turned it on. Unfortunately,
according to the manual:
"Please note that register_global s cannot be set at runtime
(ini_set()). Although, you can use .htaccess if your host allows it as
described above. An example .htaccess entry: php_flag register_global s
off ."
I will have to check to see if I can have a .htaccess file.

Should work if they allow overwriting php-ini settings via .htaccess,
but they claim they do, so you should be fine.
Good luck.
