The spec says case-significant. *SOME* browsers will not do the right thing. > I can't start the session for the first time and register a variable? Isn't > that what most people do? Sure you can. But you can't *REDIRECT* in the same page and have it work on more than half the browsers. The browser either sees the Cookie first, or the Location first. Half the browsers do it in one order, half in the other order. Whichever half sees the Location before the Cookie, that browser will loop over and over doing the Location and never exectute the Cookie. > IE 5 for the Mac: > When I hit ths page first (real page at: http://www.fromthduke.com/session/) > the echo of $PHPSESSID does not show up; it's not echoed to the screen. > > The echo of var 1 and var 2 work fine.

Not sure how/when $PHPSESSID gets set by PHP exactly. Normally, a Cookie being sent and the variable being set are two different actions. When a Cookie is sent to the Browser, that does *NOT* set the variable -- The *NEXT* page view, the browser sends back the Cookie, and the variable is set. Instead of using $PHPSESSID, use the other built-in functions/constants to see if those are set by the session_start() function. Still... You are correct that all three variables should be in the session, regardless of when the Cookie/$PHPSESSID var gets set, I think. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
