I suggest copying the link into your browser to check this out. I clicked on the link from the ticket and the $_SESSION variable won't appear on any page but one.php, however if you copy the link into the browser then you can still see the variable for about 45 seconds until it seems to time out.

I have created an extremely stripped down version of the rest of my code and it can be reached at http://gcfc.net/testsite1/docs/misc/one.php our php and server settings are here.... http://gcfc.net/testsite1/debug.php Simply put, one.php sets a session variable. two.php and three.php simply check to see if that session variable is set. If you go from one.php to two.php and wait for 60 seconds then the session variable is no longer present, but the session id is still intact. This happens on IE and Netscape. I have included my code below for the first 2 pages........................... <?php //one.php session_start(); $_SESSION['person']="Bob"; ?> <html><head><title>Session Test page 1</title></head> <body> <h1>You are at page 1</h1> <br> <a href="two.php">Page 2</a><br> <a href="three.php">Page 3</a> <br>Session variable person is <?php echo $_SESSION['person']; ?> <br>Session ID = <?php echo session_id(); ?> </body> </html> ******************************** <?php session_start(); ?> <html><head><title>Session Test page 2</title></head><body> <h1>You are at page 2</h1><br> <a href="one.php">Page 1</a><br> <a href="three.php">Page 3</a><br> <a href="four.php">Page 4, briefly</a> <br>Session variable person is <?php echo $_SESSION['person']; ?> <br>Session ID = <?php echo session_id(); ?> </body> </html> **************************************** Thanks Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21416&edit=1
