RE: [PHP-WIN] Re: header-session problem

Thank u a lot for that information Alan!

Unlike e.g. ASP where an application and a session has a persistance layer. WHen you make an application start point on IIS with ASP and have a global.asa file - this signifiies an application start point. You will notice that you can "unload" the application and set new application and new session variables each time you close the browser and staert a new session. With CGI - that's not the case. You need to manage your own session with cookies and the PHPSESSID cookie is where you start to do that. Alan Alan "B.A.T.
