In practice, I'm not sure anybody will guarantee that all browsers will have the Cookie set up BEFORE it starts getting the individual pages within the frames of the frameset... You'd think they would... Frames mostly just confuse users.

Re: [PHP] Sessions in Frames...confused
PHP, and it's sessions, knows absolutely nothing about frames. A frame is just another page, the browser just happens to display it inside of another page. From a session standpoint, you should treat each frame as an independent page.
