The session ID that PHP is looking for is named PHPSESSID by default. That's why you should use the SID _constant_ <a href="http://192.0.1.7/use.session.php?<?php echo SID; ?>">LinuxBox2</a> If PHP doesn't pick up a session id, you'll just end up with a new one created the next time you call session_start(). > So to recap: > 1- Do I need session_start() at the beginning of each php pages? Yes, you need it on any page you want to access the session in. > 2- Do I need msession_connect/create? Dunno about that... > 3- Am I right to use $SID as a good tracking assumption (if I get the same > SID thru several pages, this means msession works well???)? If you get the same session id after calling session_start() on your pages, then yes, it should be working. Using the above method with SID should get you this. ---John Holmes...
