PHPSESSID is here so session module knows which session file to use. If you look into your /tmp (or whatever is set up) directory, a file named sess_46081aa70da693f5edeecc069ed8a627 will be sitting there with all session variables.

Hi, Ok, have half solved why my scripts all of a sudden stopped working.
This is how my scripts are setup: There is a form(login.php) where the user puts in his user/pass, then this is authenticated(auth.php) by the database and a few other sessions are created (email,cust_number) and also username,password sessions are created. Then i am using a header("Location....") to send it to details.php, details.php will check and make sure that the following sessions have been created username,password,email,cust_number, if any are not valid it will kick ther person back to login.php...this was working before but not now.
I went to my forms source and checked where it was sending my submitted form and found a hidden text box there with this data: <input type="hidden" name="PHPSESSID" value="46081aa70da693f5edeecc069ed8a627" />
so i took that "PHPSESSID" and its value and added it to my header("Location....") like so: header("Location:details.php?PHPSESSID=46081aa70da693f5edeecc069ed8a627")
and every damn thing is working again...
can ANYBODY please tell me what the @#%# is that PHPSESSID, how it got into my login page and how do i work with it? because now I have manually put it in my file, do i need to always put it? how do i get it as a variable and finally how can i take it out of my computer and jump on it for causing me 5 hours of pain and suffering.any ways of killing it slowly too is appreciated.
Even if you cant answer the first questions the last two will do, the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@#%@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]@# PHPSESSID....
Thanks in advance, -Ryan
