sessions and SSI

Doesn't sessions work with SSI? I have a page that uses sessions extensively called miec.php... if you call miec.php right out on the browser, the sessions works fine... the session is set and then persists normally... but if a file I have, called demo.shtml, uses a SSI - <!--#include virtual="miec.php"--> -, then the session stops working... why?? Isn't a SSI supposed to be in a separate process? And the weird thing is... If I call miec.php directly, it sets the session right? So if right after I call demo.shtml, the session is still there and as good as it gets... so, an SSI included file can't create a session, but can use it if it is set by another page? I don't understand... _____________________________ . Christian Dechery . . Gaita-L Owner / Web Developer . . http://www.webstyle.com.br . . http://www.tanamesa.com.br
