[Chameleon] Globals

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi,
First make sure that your code that assign value in the $_SESSION array 
is after the serie of include_once() at the beginning of the file.

Then in the Query.widget.php, in the ParseURL() function, try to do:
echo $_SESSION['junk'];

You will see if the value is set or not. Note that the main page have to 
reset somehow to re-process the widget. Is it the case?

When I try to use the value in QueryWidget that was supposed to be set in QueryResults, the value does not change. This is wierd since i know its changing in QueryResult. I echoed the value before and after and the value does change.
