Hi Andrew - I didn't mean to ignore your reply... Here is your earlier post -
" The fact that you can echo the $_SESSION information on the same page and they contain the correct values suggest to me that the issue of MySQL/MSSQL is a red herring. I would look into things like the value for register_globals to make sure you don't have a global variable stepping on some of your session variables." Register_globals is off in our php.ini file. Again, I am fairly new to PHP. I guess I don't understand how a global variable can "step on" a session variable if the only thing I'm assigning anywhere in my application to said session variable is a value from a database query. When PHP changes pages, it might be arbitrarily assigning some value to a session variable, even though I'm not telling it to? Can you please explain this to me?

Is this the case, do you know? > [snip] Again, I ask - based on what you said earlier - are you sure this is even a database issue? You said that when you echo the values in your $_SESSION array AFTER reading them from the database they are there, and you only lose them on the next request after either a redirect or a manual form POST. If the values are getting into $_SESSION correctly within this page, your issue is not related to the database at all. Am I misunderstanding you?
