Problem with sessions.(Again Sorry :)

I have a login script which calls this function if it is a proper user etc. function register_in_session($uinfo){ // Used in conjuction with validate to input user info into the session $_SESSION['uid'] = $uinfo[0]; $_SESSION['gid'] = $uinfo[1]; $_SESSION['banid'] = $uinfo[2]; $_SESSION['username'] = $uinfo[3]; $_SESSION['fname'] = $uinfo[4]; $_SESSION['lname'] = $uinfo[5]; $_SESSION['email'] = $uinfo[6]; } as a test i use this function in all my pages. function welcome_or_login(){ if(isset($_SESSION['fname'])){ echo 'Hello '.$_SESSION['fname'].'.'; } else { do_h('Login', 3, 'y'); do_hr(); login_form(''); } } Only on the login page my test user's name is displayed. On all other pages it reverts to the login form. the files all link to a required includes file which includes all of the functions. Here are my php.ini settings for sessions. ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. session.save_handler = files ; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path ; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this ; variable in order to use PHP's session functions. session.save_path = C:\PHP\sessiondata ; argument passed to save_handler ; Whether to use cookies. session.use_cookies = 1 ; Name of the session (used as cookie name). session.name = SID ; Initialize session on request startup. session.auto_start = 0 ; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; The path for which the cookie is valid. session.cookie_path = / ; The domain for which the cookie is valid. session.cookie_domain = ; Handler used to serialize data. php is the standard serializer of PHP. session.serialize_handler = php ; Percentual probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization. session.gc_probability = 1 ; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the garbage collection process. session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; Check HTTP Referer to invalidate externally stored URLs containing ids. session.referer_check = ; How many bytes to read from the file. session.entropy_length = 0 ; Specified here to create the session id. session.entropy_file = ;session.entropy_length = 16 ;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom ; Set to {nocache,private,public} to determine HTTP caching aspects. session.cache_limiter = nocache ; Document expires after n minutes. session.cache_expire = 180 ; use transient sid support if enabled by compiling with --enable-trans-sid. session.use_trans_sid = 1 url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry" I don't pass along the session id manually either.
