Very stupid question, but I have one variable, say $name = "foo"; and I want that to assign on to session, reditect that to one cgi page and then go to one html page, and I want to have that session value here at this html page, see what I mean? I am using php3. How do I set session up at the first page befoer the redirect happen? Note, query string is not preferred solution here. cheers Jack [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There is nothing more rewarding than reaching the goal you set for yourself"
