Re: newbie@session - please help!

In your code, if $PHPSESSID is set then you'll need to invoke session_start() anyway. session_start() initializes all session variables to what they should be so that you can access them. Note: If someone submits the variable $name which is "Ted", and in their session they have a variable called $name which equals "Bob", then the following will end up weird: $name1 = $name; session_start(); $name2 = $name; session_start declares all session variables as global, and it over-writes any pre-existing variables of the same name. -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was.
