Did you test and make sure the variable is set?
login.php
session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]=$formUserName;
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]
header("Location: displaypage.htm");
Also, for grins ang giggles, make the middle page in the chain a HP, start
the session and test for the variable. If it does not work then the problem
is not the middle page being html.

Subject: [PHP] Sessions and switching between php and htm documents
login.htm
form submits information
login.php
session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]=$formUserName;
header("Location: displaypage.htm");
displaypage.htm
show some static stuff
links to formpage.htm
formpage.htm
form submits information to form.php
form.php
session_start();
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["username"]; <- has no value
Does the chain of pages have to be continually PHP pages to allow the
transition
of the session variables? if not, any ideas on why we are losing session
variables?
