Re: Session problem

You need to start the session at the beginning of the script, or use output buffering. Either: <?php session_start(); require("... ... or <?php ob_start(); require("... ... You're trying to output stuff to the screen (which implicitly sends the headers) then trying to send more headers by calling session_register() (which implicitly calls session_start() ) HTH.
