   Hey all,

   I'm writing a custom plugin that requires some form validate (only PHP, not JS), so I'm need to use $_SESSION to return the form values in the event of an error.

   Can anybody tell me where I need to add session_start(); (I'm guessing an action needs to be called, but I don't know which one), as everywhere I have tried has failed.

   Thanks.

   Front end or back end?

   Back end. Think I have it now.

   I'm adding this to the __constructor function

   /** Initiate the session */
   session_start();

   And then this to the on_load_page() function ('load-{page}' action) -

   /** Unset and destroy the session (if necessary) */
   if(!empty($_SESSION) && !isset($_GET['status'])) :
   	session_unset();
   	session_destroy();
   endif;

   I then unset and destroy the session when the users action is succussful and the database is updated.

   Thanks.
