thanks for the starter. I have session.use_trans_sid = 1 in my php.ini, I also have session_start() at the beginning of both pages. Now $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is there, but its a blank array. print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); yields-> Array ( ) the code I have at one page is $z=<some data>; session_start(); session_register('$z'); I also tried without the quotes, still a blank array. What am I doing wrong? How do I make sure I'm starting the correct session in the new page? I can get the session ID, but what do I do with it?
