hi i tried 2 things what should be the same however it my testing says different does anyone know why the only thing i do is put it in a variable...

    if ($_SESSION[$something] === null)
        echo("this is null");

$_SESSION[$something] does not exists so it indeed says: "this is null". now look at this

$theSession = $_SESSION[$something];

if (theSession === null)
    echo("this is null");

now it does not say "this is null" while it should be exactly the same right?
