Just doing session_start() will create the file. Are you also session_register()-ing your session vars? The $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array isn't like the $_SESSION array introduced in PHP 4.1 -- it's values are not automatically registered. You still have to use session_register(), thus: session_start(); session_register('foo'); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] = 'bar'; HTH Cheers!
