It is only empty or not empty. You should modify your conditional statements to reflect that.. <? session_start(); if(!isset($_SESSION['HID']) && empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { die("There was an error registering your product please call techinal support at (111)-111-1111"); } elseif(!isset($_SESSION['HID']) && !empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $_SESSION['HID'] = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; header("Location: http://www.helpelf.com/test2.php"); } ?> This is tested.
