Re: Re: A common theme: sessions

Tried this... by reversing the order of the vars, setting them, then registering them, made no difference. They still did not print. The SID is being set initially. When I tried to read the SID when the page was called a second time (after header()) SID was _not_ set. So I tested for cookies. The page is trying to set a cookie even though I'm trying _not_ to use cookies. Ideas?
