The problem being that IE is looking to see if a valid session cookie is available and it is so it resumes the session on session_start() instead of creating a new one. You could get around this by ether stopping php from storing the session ID in a cookie and then manually passing the SID, this can be done by changing php session settings in the php.ini to stop the storage of a cookie in all instances or by manually overwriting the cookie variable with rubbish. I apologise for my stupidity. Nic
