I've tried your suggestion, and I didn't see anything but a blank page here, although I see the session ID is passed automatically using PHPSESSID (URL below). Is there something in php.ini that I have to modify to get this to work? BTW, I'm running Apache 1.3.23 on Windows 2000 if that would make any difference. Thanks.

If someone can help me out by giving examples how I can pass the session_id to the next page and access the same $_SESSION["var"] on that page, it would be very helpful. > > My question is, once I set this on the 1st page: > <? > session_start(); > if (!isset($_SESSION["foo"])) { > $_SESSION["foo"] = "test foo"; > } > > ?> > <body> > <? echo $_SESSION["foo"] .

With $_SESSION or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS, there is no need to use session_register()/session_unregister()/session_is_registered() functions. Users can access session variable like a normal variable. > > http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php > > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
