If it does not work then the problem is not the middle page being html. =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Dave [mailto:dave@hawk-systems.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 10:37 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Sessions and switching between php and htm documents login.htm form submits information login.php session_start(); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]=$formUserName; header("Location: displaypage.htm"); displaypage.htm show some static stuff links to formpage.htm formpage.htm form submits information to form.php form.php session_start(); echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]; <- has no value Does the chain of pages have to be continually PHP pages to allow the transition of the session variables? if not, any ideas on why we are losing session variables?
