Thanks to all that responded, I have finally found the problem:
When I installed PHP again, I kept on modifying the PHP.ini in the
WINNT directory (as specified in the manual) but the PHP.ini that was
being looked up was the 1 in the c:\php directory so I kept on trying
all new things and nothing worked.
Thanks again. Please remeber so that you dont make the same mistake as
me

Why are you testing if $_POST['submit'] is set are you posting
something to
the page??
In the two scripts you posted the code block wont be executed because
there
is no post variable
being set.
Try this:
a1.php
==================================================
<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); // IE 6 Fix.
$_SESSION["login"]="inside";
session_write_close();
header("Location: a2.php");
exit();
?>
<pre>
<?php print_r($_SESSION); ?>
</pre>
==================================================
AND
a2.php
==================================================
<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); // IE 6 Fix.
if(!isset($_SESSION["login"])){
echo("<br>session variable NOT set");
}else{
echo("<br>session variable set");
}
echo("<br>session ID: " . session_id());
echo("<br>session value: " . $_SESSION["login"]);
?>
<pre>
<?php print_r($_SESSION); ?>
</pre>
==================================================
Works fine now.
