Hi Brian, if you want to be independent of the user's browser cookie settings you have to pass the session id from page to page via POST (e.g. as a hidden field in a form) or GET: <a href="page2.php<?php= SID ?>">link</a> I would recommend searching the mailing list archives. You will find LOADS of useful information on sessions. Regards, Torsten Roehr -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
