dreaded sessions

Hi all, Sessions have become one my nightmares. Unfortunately, I have built a system based on sessions and for some reason I having some really irritating issues. Simply here is my problem: After logging into the system, I set a session with information for the Username and Password for verifiying the user's login into the system, that way I don't have to continually ask for the information or pass in the forms. Currently I am using a database to store sessions, which I have however encountered the same errors with file based sessions. When I restart the session, it performs a selection from the database on SESS ID. However, in very consistently inconsistent points the selection returns 0 results. However, I checked the database for the session data and found that the session information was gone from the previous write. But I am using an Innodb table and committing the transaction. Odd? I am calling the session_write_close function at the end of the transaction, to push the session through. Also, in the session_destroy handler I put a debugging message to see if the session was being destroyed and that is not the situation either. Anybody have similar problems with delayed in session writing or lost session data? I register all of the data into the session that I need leave the session alone except for reading of the session data. Thanks in advance!
