Hello
Hell frezezer over.
odd verb. but I get the message. indeed it's seem it hath freezeth nicely.

Me thinks regsiter_globals are evil too.

And what about this

session_start();

$_SESSION['refString'] = $_GET['refNo'];
what about it?

1. you mean the fact that the GET val is not sanitized?
2. or the oddness of 'refNo' becoming 'refString' (is it a string, a
number, superman)? 3. or the direct use of $_SESSION and the lack of
specific session cookie settings?

1. is evil, 2. is odd and 3. is a change recommendation ... if you ask me.

1. 2.
Orginal Code
<?php
session_start();
session_register("refString");
$refString = $_GET['refNo'];
?>

3. Could you explain a bit or re direct me a document about this ?

the original code is rubbish. $_SESSION should be used and session_register()
should not. in that sense you translation of the code was an improvement.

the only really bas thing is the lack of input sanitation in $_GET['refNo']

using session_register() is depreciated.
