PHP will do this automatically *if* you initialize your session variables to *anything* as soon as you register them. For example, session_register("sess_auth"); $sess_auth = ""; If you do this, then session variables will overwrite GET/POST variables, and the latter will need to be retrieved from the $HTTP_(GET/POST)_VARS arrays. Another approach is to turn register_globals off in php.ini. This is a long one to explain, but has been covered quite bit here- search the archive. Kirk
