Re: Session on PHP with MySQL

it seem to me you didn't use session at all, so where is the session problem? but i think i see some weird stuff that maybe caused the problem, (or may be another problem) : <A href=i_login.php?user=<?echo $name?>$action=preference>Preference</A> why did you use "$" sign instead the "&" sign at the "$action=preferences"? it's very helping if you send us the error message, is it from the mysql,php,or something else?
