Hello Ashley, > One thing sticks out a little bit to me. In your index.php file, you're accessing an element of the $_SESSION array, but without calling session_start() first. I believe this may be causing the issue you are seeing. I tried using it without success. I'm having now 3 separate session IDs: 1. Before the login form is processed, 2. After the login form is processed, 3. When clicking the Articles link, on the articles.php page. -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
