Any help is greatly appreciated! How did you pass it and how did you start the new session with it? I can't get to the manual, but I think you have to use session_name() to set the name before you call session_start(). You use the session id passed in GET or POST in the session_name call. As long as it's on the same box, it should work fine, as PHP will look in the same place for the session file to load. ---John Holmes...
