Why would you want to store a separate copy of the code for each session, when all you have to do is include() or require() it into each program where it is used? (_Before_ you start the session.) If you do store a separate copy with each of the thousands of sessions you might have hanging around on your system, what happens when you update the code? All of those old sessions will still have the old code in them, ready to screw things up. This is NOT a good idea. It has been well covered on this list in the past, you might want to check the archives. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists http://www.developersdesk.com
