Re: A common theme: sessions

ok two things I see, create the vars then register them, not visa versa. $UserID=$row["UserName"]; $CID=$row["CustID"]; $StatID=$row["$Status"]; session_register('UserID'); session_register('CID'); session_register('Status'); second, your not sending the SID as you think you are. header ("Location: $PHPSELF?". SID); even better is make sure SID is accually set, if cookies are being used SID wont be set. $PHPSESSID = session_id(); $SID = "PHPSESSID=$PHPSESSID"; header ("Location: $PHPSELF?$SID"); try that. -- Chris Lee lee@mediawaveonline.com "Chesley A Windon" <windon@orthus.net> wrote in message news:Pine.LNX.4.33.0110101216450.8139-100000@oak.autus.lan... > Hello All: > > It seems that there is a common theme on the list with session handling > right now.
