Anyone care to > explain this? Well, first of all the fact that this solution works means it has nothing to do with the output buffering setting, nor whether there's a session_write_close() in the calling script (although that's good practice in this situation, and I'd probably recommend doing it a bit earlier in the script -- certainly before emitting the </body>). From the fact that this does solve the problem, we can assume that (i) the session ID is being passed in the URL and not via a cookie, and (ii) the session.use_trans_sid URL rewriter isn't rewriting the URLs in the JavaScript call. This would mean that the script called in the popup is seeing the session ID neither in the URL nor in a cookie -- i.e. not at all -- and hence the need to add the SID information manually. Cheers!
