Re: php and forms question

Chip: Sessions aren't my forte, but I can't see where you're registering your session variables. You need to do more than simply use 'session_start' if using sessions ... perhaps you're doing this on another page, but if not you'll need to register variables using 'session_register'. You'll also need 'session_id' as far as I know. The manual at www.php.net should fill you in some more, and there are a couple of tutes out there as well (www.devshed.com has one I think).
