No, it won't.

That's the whole problem.

Watch this slow-motion instant replay.

HTTP Interaction #1
Browser requests URL ----> Server sends out FRAMESET/FRAME/FRAME ---\

Browser gets FRAMESET <--------------------------------------------/


HTTP Interaction #2A (starts)
Browser requests FRAME #1 URL ------>

HTTP Interaction #2B (starts, in parallel, by browser)
Browser requests FRAME #2 URL ------>

Server responds to #2A, with session_start() sending out Cookie
headers, and setting up session #2A

Server responds to #2B, with session_start() sending out *NEW* Cookie
headers, and setting up session #2B, because the browser has *NOT* yet
received, much less sent back, the Cookies from #2A

The browser now has *TWO* parallel sessions.

You  *MUST* *MUST* *MUST* get the session started in the FRAMESET, or
this *WILL* happen, intermittently, between the frames.
