Why does it matter if they hit refresh and get a new session ID before you've collected any information about that ID?... About all you *COULD* do is have a "fake" first page that does: <?php $session_id = md5(rand()); header("Location: page2.php?session_id=$session_id"); ?> They can now reload the "second" (first they'll see) page as much as they want. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
