Re: session var being lost between pages

echo $PHPSESSID on every page, is it the same on every page ? I usually recommend that you create the register variables too. else { $userid = ''; $userpassword = ''; session_register('userid'); session_register('userpassword'); } if $PHPSESSID is set then session_start() will find it and use it, if your trying to override HTTP_COOKIE_VARS['PHPSESSID'] with HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID'] I would also check if it is not thedefault allready, change the code to relect that then if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']) AND $PHPSESSID != $HTTP_GET_VARS['PHPSESSID']) all small things, nothing big looks wrong. try it and see. -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com "Jean-Christian Imbeault" <jean_christian@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:F111jy3DzB8zICirYfZ0000c3ae@hotmail.com... > Ok, newbie I am but ...
