Thanks again Kirk. session_id() is not being passed correctly. The two pages contain different page ids. I had "display_errors = ON" in php.ini and received the following msgs:
Notice: Undefined index: sess_var in D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\page2.php on line 13 sess_var = So page2.php is NOT see $sess_var from page1.php. Is there something else that could affect session variables besides "track_vars" and "register_globals"?
