IIRC, some things depend on your PHP version and ini file (register_globals, track_vars and maybe others). its worth trying those definately. The manual also says that $_SESSION is only available after 4.1.0 - if you're using an older version try $HTTP_SESSION_VARS. > that file write error concerns me. i think > something larger is going on here. Definately - if all else fails it could be worth upgrading PHP (if your ISP won't let you, maybe they've seen the problem before?). Ah! What user is your web server running as? Try creating a new user, running the web server as that user (group as well come to think of it), and trying the permissions with that). I'm not sure why this should make a difference but it rings bells for some reason (can't remember enough offhand about UNIX users/permissions).
