this is a hilarious thread. I first learned html through osmosis in the
womb and made my first site in 1949 using sticks instead of tags. We
had to make do with shoe-boxes and pieces of string for our internet,
and we were still happy.

Future-proof (as best you can) against your sys-admin upgrading PHP with
register-globals off. Instead of using session_register() etc, use
$_SESSION[] variables. You have only a little more to type when using
these session vars, but your site will not bite the dust when
register-globals gets turned off. Lets face it, unless you are the
sys-admin, you won't know they've done it till your clients want to know
why their sites are full of error messages.
