I do not know if this is a bug or if I am doing something very wrong

<?
session_start();
session_register("sess_uid");
$sess_uid=1; //THIS WORKS

function foo(){
   $sess_uid=2; // WHY WHY WHY IT DOES ---NOT--- WORK
   echo "<a href='next.php'>Continue</a>";
}
foo();
?>

Read the piece about variabeles and scopes in the manual.
This is not a bug.
