No, it shouldn't. So, the links are correct on one page, and they disappear on the second page? Is there a reason you're passing the SID in the URL and not using cookies? Hmmm, found this in the manual. Maybe it applies? --- The constant SID can also be used to retrieve the current name and session id as a string suitable for adding to URLs. Note that SID is only defined if the client didn't sent the right cookie. See also Session handling. --- You may have to call session_id() with the passed value of $_GET['PHPSESSID'] so that PHP knows what session to restart. ---John Holmes... -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
