Here... if you don't believe me. go here: http://216.235.251.8/login.phtml Initially you can just enter in anything you wan. it will post to itself, the session is started and the phpsessid variable is blank. Then put anything else in the user and password fields and submit again. You'll see the phpsessid populated with the previous ID but when the session_start is called, a new ID is created and in the middle when I echo SID; it displays the string. How do I know that the cookie is being set? Well, I look in my cookies.txt file and find the cookie listed. (some may need to quit the browser before seeing the cookie in the file). -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager ------------------------- New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/
