[FX.php List] Annoying PHP warning

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Again, I'm sorry to hijack Bob's original email.  I'm thinking that 
we can learn something by adding in my similar experiences.

On that, I don't have a current error, I'm going from past 
experience.  However, I do often use the same name for $_SESSION 
variables and regular variables.  Plus it is my practice to have 
register_globals set to off. And I don't use session_register.

I will keep an eye out for the next time it occurs.

Thanks for the feedback.

Jonathan
