Dear Mark,
You must have the line
session_start ();
at the beginning of the pages that are part of the session. This is the
function which gets the session id. You can also use session_start to BEGIN
the session. You must then register any variables you want to be held by
the session. You must register those variables each time you change them
too.
You should probably change the temp directory in which the session files are
held too (create a nice new little directory just for php session files and
register that directory in the php.ini file). I had problems before I did
this.
Hope this gets you started.
