#### ORIGINAL ##### I have an "index.php" page which does not user session_start(); command. However in this "index.php" page, there are some $_SESSION['...']; variables stored. How is it possible that $_SESSION['...']; works even if no session has been created before ? moreover, if i use a print "Session ID : ".session_id(); after those lines, session_id() is empty (which is logical) as no session_start(); command has been used before. So, how is it possible that $_SESSION['..'] works ? Do i have a session created or not ? #### END ORIGINAL #### If you treat $_SESSION['username'] as a variable and set its value and then print it or check it. It will display the value but value will not be maintained for the next pages e.g. for index.php you dont use session_start() but you do the follow $_SESSION['username']="some value"; echo $_SESSION['username']; //this will print "some value" So, in your case it is possible that some page is being included that is starting a session or setting up variable. -- Regards Fahad Pervaiz www.ecommerce-xperts.com (Shopping Cart Applications, Framework for Multilingual Web Sites, Web Designs) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
