See, this is what confuses the hell out of me.

From everything I've knkown of PHP, when creating a session variable (isn't that what namespaces are?), that variable should be available on any script until the user logs out, times out their session, or closes their browser. However, everything I've read on namespaces and Zend_Session only show vars being available in the script that they're generated in.

I am looking for these values to be available to all scripts at all times. I am looking at Zend_Registry - this sounds more like traditional PHP Sessions than anything else I've found.

Please give me some direction because currently, Zend Framework is *really* making me want to go back to the application codebase I already have built.
