From here, "another_page" should try to echo $_SESSION['username'] & $_SESSION['password'] to make sure you're able to maintain session. > another_page > session_start(); > <form> > variable -> another_action_page > </form> > > another_action_page > session_start(); > echo $_POST["variable"]; this has nothing to do with your session... you don't seem to be calling any session variables ($_SESSION[...]), or registering any new ones. I don't understand why you have this second form, and what it has to do with your sessions. Take small steps. Try to isolate the problem by getting rid of any noise from the script (eg the second form, heaps of HTML formatting, etc. Try and get the basic session working, then bring the noise back in, testing as you go.
