Something like: If there isn't a session, start one and redirect to the same page WITH the session id, otherwise just continue the session. In theory, you should always get a session ID in the URL of startpage.php. But I can't stress enough, this is all theory -- the code hasn't been tested at all... nor particularly thought through :) startpage.php: <? // untested code if(!isset(session_id())) { session_start(); header("Location: startpage.php?PHPSESSID=".session_id()) } else { session_start(); } ?> <HTML> ... </HTML> Justin French -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
