Re: Redirection Question.

you could try this instead of the header redirect. I use this and it works fine for me. $url = "the_url_to_the_script"; echo "<script>window.location='$url';</script>"; I usually wrap that in a method and call it "goTo()" function goTo($url) { echo "<script>window.location='$url';</script>"; } So, my code looks like this: $url = "the_url_to_the_script"; goTo($url); good luck, Nicole Amashta Web App. Dev. www.aeontrek.com "Curtis" <Curtis@scdservices.zzn.com> wrote in message news:84C06A0DC2AF9374D910E64C74D1C4D0@Curtis.scdservices.zzn.com... > I've got everything working except for one piece. > > I'm trying to authenticat users against a mySQL database and then > once they are authenticated I'm trying to create a session that's the > same as their username.
