When using Cookies for session management everything works fine (the authentication part) but passing the values of the session variables. In the example below the existence of '$ident' is verified. But no chance to get its value: no 'echo' prints out anything!

-- example -----------------------------------

session_start();
if (!session_is_registered('ident')) {
	header ("Location: ../index.php"); 
}
// trying to retrieve $ident which is obviously known to the session
echo $ident;
echo $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['ident'];
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['ident'];
// just to be sure there is no interference with form data
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['ident'];
echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['ident'];
