RE: [PHP4BETA] New session id?

Or you could just keep the session, dump all the data in it, but leave a var called "checkout" defined.

Once you destroy a session, it is not known to the system anymore. Hence it will be handled as a new session id, if the user hits the back button. Your system should properly initialize the data then (i.e. use a session variable to check whether the current session is initialized). -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant -- PHP 4 Beta
