before calling session start, use this: session_id( xxx )
xxx must be the session ID as created on the previous page. If you need to know what the session id currently is use session_id() xxx must be alpha-numeric only btw. If there is no session with the session id of xxx, then a new session will be started WHEN session_start() is called Stephen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iggy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] still sessions > I have done this million times, but it doesn't work. > I declare the session variables like you said it, but the moment I go on the > next page a new session is started instead of retrieving the old one. > > I don't know if there is something in the php.ini file that I still need to > set, but I am getting frustrated.
