Hi, Gibbs Tip me if I'm wrong ... is the frustrating part, that the session is recreated every time you call the server? If yes, check how the request, you send to your server, looks like. Sessions in PHP are quite simple, if you once understood how they actually work. HTTP in general is stateless. So, it doesn't keep any state of your user. If you now create a session, you basically give the client an ID (the session ID) that it can be re-identified by. This session-id usually is sent using a Cookie. Please check if you get the cookie with the correct value in your client (probably your web browser) and check, that the client again sends it to the server on the next request. If you don't do so, PHP thinks you are a user without a previously created session.
