# php SESSION not working with version 2.1

 * I wrote a plugin called anotherFlickr that uses ajax to load pictures from a 
   flickr account. On the callback page, I use session variables to store information
   between callbacks. I also put an include to wp-config.php so that I can get wordpress
   settings. This worked fine up until the recent update to 2.1. Now it seems that
   I can’t use php session variables any longer. Here’s a quick sample I wrote to
   demonstrate the problem:
 * `
    <? session_start(); require_once( "../../../wp-config.php"); $counter++; print"
   You have visited this page $counter times during this session"; session_register("
   counter"); ?>

 * Is there a better place I can ask this question? I’d really like to find out 
   an answer.
