If you used the yesterday's code, then you it really doesn't work 
with turned off cookies. You have to pass the SID from page to page 
in order to keep the session:

<FORM ACTION="index2.php?<?=SID?>" METHOD="POST">

If you just removed all things from the url, even the session id then 
it's not strange that php created a new session. Sessions works this 
way. If session_start() can't find a session id then start a new 
session, otherwise it reopens the old one, and creates the variables 
that's been stored previuosly.

It's really strange, and does the same for me on you server for the 
first page loading. When I reload the page again (with the old 
session id, not the newly created) the variables are read properly 
from the session (var1, var2), and are shown on the page. Somehow it 
doesn't work on the first page load, but works later.
Sorry I can't think of any other thing, but please let me know if 
something works, or changes.
