Thank u a lot for that information Alan! (that explains some few things I have had no time to look into yet. ;) -----Original Message----- From: Alan McDonald To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: 2004-02-16 11:35 Subject: Re: Re: header-session problem session is a session ID and it's stored as a cookie. cookies persist but when you setup php as a cgi it's a cgi appliaction - that means nothing persists in the context of the application running on the server. Unlike e.g. ASP where an application and a session has a persistance layer. WHen you make an application start point on IIS with ASP and have a global.asa file - this signifiies an application start point. You will notice that you can "unload" the application and set new application and new session variables each time you close the browser and staert a new session. With CGI - that's not the case. You need to manage your own session with cookies and the PHPSESSID cookie is where you start to do that. Alan Alan "B.A.T.
