This is out to all the people trying to get sessions to work at all... If you are getting error messages here are two things that you have to do: 1. Make your session_start() the first function in your code, even before the <html> tag. 2. In your php.ini file under the header [session] there are two things that have to be filled out correctly: session.save_handler and session.save_path examples of the values are: session.save_handler = files session.save_path = /tmp For this example, you are using apache, make sure theses dir's exist: c:\apache\htdocs\files c:\apache\temp And my final bit of advice is read the WebMonkey tutorial on Sessions, avaliable at http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/05/index2a.html?tw=programming -Peter Feiner
