Re: sessions variables and meta refresh

Hmmm .. this is not good ... damnit .. basicaly what I'm doing is this <? switch($login){ case "yes": auth is fine .. go to next page break; case "no"; display problems with auth etc etc break; default: login stuff here with forms break; } ?> that is a very basic. after the authentication is done I generate a session_ID and register it. then on all the other pages I check for the session_ID as authentication. how can i get the page to redirect or refresh to the next page without loosing the cookie information ?
