1: Rid any whitespace between '<?php' and 'session_start()' 2: You need to populate the variable you wish to use as a session variable before registering it <?php session_start(); if(!isset($UserName)){ $UserName = "guest"; session_register('"UserName'); } //----rest of script goes here ?> HTH Russ On Wed, 7 Nov 2001 20:02:03 -0500 Matthew Tedder <matthew@tedder.com> wrote: > > Can anyone tell me why my session isn't working?
