I am using sessions to carry variables from page to page. When I try carrying the session over 2 or 3 pages, the session dies. Is there a reason for this?

Also, why do some sites contain what i think the session id is, in the url?

Could you show us your script of sessions? we'll try to help you!

and i think that what you can see in the urls are just informations with the method 'GET'.
it's like POST but actions are shown in the url!

for example : index.php?act=Post&CODE=02&f=10&t=9300 ( extract from p2l )

sorry if i didn't answer the question very well!

Some sites have something like this:

index.php?sid=e3ae36bb955b9def13fc7c53b3f7d44a

Which is the session id appended to the url Make sure that there is

<?PHP ob_start(); ?>

At the beginning of the pages

is this the same thing as ob_start();?

//start session
session_start();

technically you don't need the ob_start
You need session_start.

Go to php.net and see what they have to say about sessions.

Well, you should know that close in php just doesn't cut it
