I've tried the suggested code changes and no difference :( I just don't think sessions are working for me at all.
I said in my original posting that the second page was creating an empty file in my session.save_path directory as though the second page has no reference to the first one. In my save_path directory I have the following files: sess_8e603c46412d9c4dd3fa6bf3d98c100f 0 KB File 23/10/2003 10:37 sess_f548763ea84f7d812539720142ac6efe 1 KB File 23/10/2003 10:37 The top one presumably created by page 2 is empty and the bottom one contains foo|s:5:"Hello";bar|s:5:"World"; I don't know how sessions work in php and whether they use cookies or not but it seems to me that the session_start() on page 2 is creating a new session instead of referring to the current one. Jason how do I check for those settings? I see nothing in php.ini that refers to transparent sessions and I believe my browser is accepting cookies. Could it be an Apache configuration issue? I thought sessions were maintained on the server somehow.
