[SWLUG] Apache 2 problem

[Daniel T. Morgan]

Erm, that is odd, are you using a mixture of the old
session_register('BLAH');
$BLAH = "plod";
and the new $_SESSION["BLAH"] = "plod";
methods?

As I have experienced problems with sessions not setting nor being read
straight away with this method of things.
