Hi John, What do you mean about "another program"? Is it something like... a.php: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION["index"]= "value"; echo "call b <a href=\"b.php\">here</a>"; ?> b.php: <?php session_start(); var_dump($_SESSION); ?> ... or something else? Try the example above, if this does not work then you should start looking at your php.ini for session support, check if it's disabled or something. Or maybe try using session_write_close() at the end of the scripts, they might work (if session support is enabled).

I open session_start() as the first thing, on each page. I set a session variable using, for instance, $_SESSION['ACCOUNTemail'] = $email; The next program, when I var_dump($_SESSION), it shows an empty array. That program does run session_start() too. What's obviously wrong, or what's my most likely cause?
