ok.. Let me explain the problem better. 'user_level' is set by a login script. It seems to be working fine since I can make things like: if ("1"==$_SESSION[user_level]) { let this stuff happen }

$_SESSION[user_level] is wrong unless 'user_level' is a defined constant in your code (I bet it isn't). instead write: $_SESSION['user_level'] -- notice the quotes, they delimit the _string_ that is the key of the array. array keys are either strings or integers.

on my mainpage. on that same mainpage I use include ("page.php"); (I also tried require...) If I access page.php directly (by writing the URL in my browser) things like if ("1"==$_SESSION[user_level]) { let this stuff happen } will work just fine, but when page.php is included in mainpage the $_SESSION[user_level] is empty for that included part...

how is $_SESSION['user_level'] being set and/or updated? have you tried a var_dump($_SESSION) on the included page to see what _is_) in the session? are you per change closing the session prior to including the relevant file? I think you'll need to show some code - the way you describe it seems to me to be not possible that $_SESSION['user_level'] is set in the first script and nolonger available in the included script ($_SESSION is a super global that is available everywhere so long as there is an active/open session)
