Hi! Warren
Thanks for such a detailed reply... I am already looking into the code...
Just wanted to ask... I recently updated Red Hat's kernel.. and this problem seems to started appearing after that... is there a possibility of any connection between these two?

I have had similar things happen but in every case it turned out to be a program bug in my code. It was usually something I looked at over and over and I saw the way it was supposed to work, but because I missed a detail it was not working that way. I would suggest you find someone to look over your code and help you with the debug process. I found many bugs just trying to explain to someone clearly how it worked.
I suppose it could be a browser problem, but you need to solve those as well, or at least handle them gracefully. Do you make it a practice of having multiple browser instances open at the same time. I believe they will each normally get their own session key, and if you get your hands crossed, you will be looking at the symptoms in the wrong browser, bottom line, test, test, and test, then get a second set of eyes to look at your code, show them how it works, they don't need to really know a lot about PHP, or even programming for that matter, they will ask questions that as you try to answer them, you will find your problems.
I have never found a legitimate bug in PHP Sessions, I have on the other hand found I was inconsistently using session handler routines, and before register globals was turned off, I was finding form variables that clobbered my session variables (or maybe it was the other way).
Good Luck,
Warren Vail warren@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: Are sessions unreliable?
Hi!
I store some user info in sessions.. it works fine but sometimes what happens is that the user id stored in session get changed.. and it happens only sometimes..
Can it be browser problem? or this is common?
Thanks
