Hi Jason
Thanks for the rapid response.
So if I understand you correctly if the first page takes a half hour to complete its queries, then the second page is going to sit for a half an hour before it can access the session variables?
So the only way for the user to be able to do anything while the first page is at work is to get a new session id for each new window?
In such a case, is there any way to pass information between sets of session variables in such a case? (I.e from $_SESSION['policeman'] of session number 1 and $_SESSIOn['policeman'] of session number 2)
TIA
