Re: [Phplib-users] couple of questions

[Giancarlo <gia...@na...>]

The technique I use is:
have a session variable array and a user variable array, store anything 
needed befor login in the sess one, keep it in sync with the user one or 
fixate there the ones vars needed. User persistent data are always on 
db, though.

In thus case I'd just make persistent the 2-3 $_ arrays I need
What do you mean register_globals is not supported? by your app, or by 
your app? It is by phplib.
