Why on earth does the variable $ID contain the value 3 on a totally blank page where neither other script has been processed or session started???!

This is not so big a problem in itself, but if I use $ID as a session variable it even overwrites this value - now, THIS is a problem!

I cannot find any place where it says that one shouldn't use this variable name.

CORRECTION: I was NOT using $ID as a session variable though. But if I do it gives strange and totally off error messages about different places in my script where the script is perfectly correct.

Set register_globals=Off and this problem goes away.
