For some reason I am not able to get sessions to work. This is the code I have entered on the first page: session_start(); $row['id']=545; $_SESSION['individual_id'] = $row['id']; header("location:dataFilterExpander.php"); On page two this is the code I'm using: session_start(); if(empty($_SESSION['individual_id'])) { header("location:dataLogin.php?status=nosession"); } On the second page I get the error: Notice: Undefined index: individual_id in... I have the appropriate permissions set, and I have Reg Globals turned on and sessions enabled in the ini...why oh why is it not working?? Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Ron
