session variable problem

[sky2070]

#register variable
session_register("product1");
session_register("product2");
$product1="Palm pilot";
$product2="Power mac 5";

#print variable from another page
print "Your chosen products are:\n\n";
print "<ul><li>$product1\n<li>$product2\n</ul>\n";

why the above code return

Your chosen products are:
Notice: Undefined variable: product1 in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\session\session3.php on line 11

Notice: Undefined variable: product2 in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\session\session3.php on line 11

check your setting for register_globals!

HTH!

Seems simple. In your php.ini register_globals is not set "On". On the
other hand, you can't expect that this value is always "On". On newer
versions of PHP (> 4.0.x) you should use

#register variable
$_SESSION["product1"]="Palm pilot";
$_SESSION["product2"]="Power mac 5";

#print variable from another page
print "Your chosen products are:\n\n";
print
"<ul><li>$_SESSION['product1']\n<li>$_SESSION['product2']\n</ul>\n";
