Re: SESSIONS

Dear List - I can make it work, but I do not know why??? I have two scripts, HandleWeight and HandleFood. I call HandleWeight from a form ... echo "<form method= 'post' action='HandleWeight.php'>"; echo "<center><strong><input type = 'submit' value= 'WEIGH'></strong></center>"; echo "</form>"; and the session variables appear in HandleWeight. I call HandleFood with a shell_exec, $output = shell_exec('php HandleFood.php'); and the variables do not appear in HandleFood. If I call it from a form, the variables appear. What is going on??

Besides running from the terminal which won't set a session since the browser controls cookies and stuff shouldn't session_start go first?
