If you just removed all things from the url, even the session id then it's not strange that php created a new session. Sessions works this way. If session_start() can't find a session id then start a new session, otherwise it reopens the old one, and creates the variables that's been stored previuosly. > When I click the 'try this link' instead when starting over.

When I reload the page again (with the old session id, not the newly created) the variables are read properly from the session (var1, var2), and are shown on the page. Somehow it doesn't work on the first page load, but works later. Sorry I can't think of any other thing, but please let me know if something works, or changes. Arpi
