Re: sessions failing to persist

the problem suggest to me that you probably do not have the directory that the sessions get stored on the server side properly existing and permissioned. make sure that your php.ini defined location exists. also make sure that your php code is not over-riding your php.ini by defining a different location. also perhaps you have renamed the sessionid label from phpsessionid to somthing else? try testing by switching cookies completely off on you browser and then trying to go to the php script. youll then see the session# in the url field. rgrds, omer.
