Form problem

Thanks for the idea, don't know why I didn't think of printing the value. ;-) Yes, it is already set on my client's server, upon echoing the value is $USERNAME it is "root" Why would this be registered in my session? I always use "$ses_xxx" for my session variables to prevent this very problem. Dana <my original code snipped> Hi, Could you please give details on what the problem is? Does it always return TRUE, or FALSE ? If it always return TRUE, you can print it to see what it is. I experienced almost the same problem one week before, and finaly found that there's a session variable of the same name as the one checked in if(). As for variable checking, sometimes I just use the C style: if( $var ), and this also work perfect. Alex
