I don't know how much this has to do with this, but I do >have track-vars enabled. Hmmmm. Okay, try this. Use the Preferences in your browser to "Ask each time" a Cookie is presented. It's in there somewhere. Then, when you visit the page, you should be getting a Cookie. Write down the cookie, and see if you either get sent a different cookie each time, no cookies at all, or the same cookie every time. You may have turned off the Cookies in your php.ini, and since you are not passing $PHPSESSID as part of HTTP communication via GET or POST, then you get a new session every time, because you aren't you. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
