Thanks Steve;
I now have this in a session file in my tmp dir
topicID|s:1:"8";
Now how do i get the link to read http://localhost/forums/view.php?topicID=8
i think its along the lines of
http://localhost/forums/view.php3?PHPSESSIONID?topicID
I am banging away, the 4 books i have on Php are useless when it comes to
session and there usage.
Thanks for the help
