sorry tedd; obviously i was hasty to post. but i figured just looking for the obvious would be a good exercise as i cant count the times ive launched into an exhaustive search for the problem when its really something silly ive overlooked. that said; i know ur smart and you always post hard problems for 'the gang' ;) anyway, taking the cue from some of the other responses, have you looked at the page on session_write_close() ? http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-write-close.php its kind of interesting; it looks like lots of people have run into issues using the location header to redirect clients to another script after a form submission. its never happened to me (knock on wood) but anyway some of the posts on that page may be worth reading. also, though it wont answer your question about why its happening, i was thinking you might alter the flow of ur scripts to see if you can get the same behavior on both sites. heres what i was thinking: add a hidden input to the form (from index.php) <input type="hidden" name="formsubmission" value="1" /> then after you call session_start() in index.php, have the following if(isset($_POST['formsubmission']) && $_POST['formsubmission'] == '1')) { include('part2.php'); // process form submission } then, make the following adjustments to part2.php remove the call to session_start() remove the call to header(location ... remove the call to exit() i think this will have the effect that the work flow is unaltered, but the organization of the logic on the back end will be different. effectively the call to header(location... will be removed so we would be able to tell if the issue is related to that. -nathan
