RE: [PHP] Problem using META tag refresh for page re-directs

Thanks, Chris. This touches on another problem. Have you tried this with session cookies disabled in your browser? Can you pass the session ID using the header function? I can't seem to, but I *can* pass it using SID appended to the URL in the META tag. This is one reason I wanted to stay with the META refresh method, if possible, so the site still works for people with cookies disabled. Thanks, again, I will play with this.
