I was wondering what command should I use to redirect the user's browser to another page without losing the session state? For example: I have login.php which gather some login informations that are then compared with values inside a mySQL db. If the login and password is ok, I want to start a session and set a variable that tell the user has been authenticated. Then I want to redirect that user to another page without losing the session variables. Why isn't this code working session_start(); echo "ID de session=".session_id()."<br>"; session_register('auth'); $auth = true; echo "Authentifié=".$auth."<br>"; echo "<a href=\"useradd.php\">Go back</a>"; header("Location: http://membres.lycos.fr/someuser/useradd.php"); exit; Thanks
