Hi James,
Well for what it's worth:
Your code in Test1 sets the paraemters -
if(!$_SESSION['start_time']){
echo("\n Session Reset<BR>");
$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();
yet when Test2 loads, you haven't called $_SESSION[''start_time'} nor, for
that matter, have you 'saved' it using session_write_close();
Therefore when the Test2 loads, time is not set, so when it returns to Test1
and hits the above condition, it will write a new time, and hence a new
session.
I presume two things; 1. that you have <?php session_start(); ?> as opener
lines on each page and 2. that register_globals=off. The last thing caused
all sorts of grief for me last week - messes up sessions if 'on'
Hth,
Andre
