session_start must be called before any output in the script, not just in the PHP section. The easiest way to do this is to have the following as the first line in each script... <?php start_session(); ?> > I was able to set session vars etc and the script completed with out error > and the session vars could be printed out at the end of the script. > I then called another php script from my menu frame and was not able to find > the _session vars which showed as blanks.

Basically, a link to a page that uses the session should be created by a script that also calls start_session(). > Do I need to use names sessions or what?

You are using $_SESSION_VARS which is a mix between the two options which are $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and $_SESSION. $_SESSION is the one you should be using since $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is deprecated. > Is the start_session and session variables the corect way to do this or is > there a better way? Not really. Sessions are the established way of persisting data across page requests. -- Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
