Re: Session problem

Do not echo $query or any output before session_start(); or session_register("xxx"); (mean headers) //echo $query Or may be you can put ob_start(); before first output and put ob_end_flush(); after last headers ob_start(); echo $query . . //your code. . . session_register("ses_level"); ob_end_flush(); Hope this helps!
