The same occurs with $_SESSION information, as the PHPSESSID cookie is sent to the browser to track the session name. With regard to redirection, there are a lot of ways to do that, but the easiest is as follows: <? header("Location: somefile.php"); exit; ?> Just be sure to always exit; after using the header("Location: xxx"); to stop the current script from running, unless you have explicit reasons not to do so. -- Daniel P.
