Fantastic! I was totally unaware of this function. Thanks very much! If any of you guys found this helpfull, be sure to call session_start() again if you're using --enable-trans-sid. Otherwise, on your subsequent call to another page needing a session state, the SID won't be propogated (at least on my server, Apache).
Thanks again, Marek. NFS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marek Kilimajer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "N. F.
