there is a setting you need to make after the session start
http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-expire.php
check that link out I think that it will resolve alot of problems for you..
however I have noticed forms are a little trickier... usually what I do with
those is create the back link as a hyperlink which allows me to add the info
to the form when returned so it looks like the form hasnt lost its
information.
