Re: session problem using headers

Thanks for your email. I did the changes you suggested, and the page is now going to" input.php?=" ie no record of the SID. I added the following lines to the code. echo "SID: $SID"; and echo "SID: $PHPSESSID"; and $SID was not displayed i.e just SID: was displayed. I guess this is the problem. For some reason, SID is not assigned a value. However, PHP is creating a file in /tmp on the server called sess_09591b3e465294959ecde0ee41f6c188 and as I said in the last e-mail, sessions with cookies is working fine. Thanks again for any ideas.
