Calling session_commit() right after session_start() is common optimization technique. Making it more efficient worth it. I think there is no point to write back to the session data while programmer only needs to read the data. Since session_start();session_commit(); is optimization technique, making it more efficient makes sense. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.netsession_start();session_commit()
