Hi,

I have a page that 'demands' a session exists:
Something like:

if (isset($_SESSION['isAdmin']) && ($_SESSION['isAdmin'] == 'Y')){
// OK, continue
} else {
// No good. Redirect to loginpage
header("Location: etc/etc/etc/example");
}

All very basic.

But if I try to view the source of my page in FF by pressing rightmouse
button -> view source, I receive the source of the login page!

I get the impression 'view source' makes a fresh request to get the source
but is not sending the PHPSESSID along with the request, thus delivering
the HTML of the loginpage to where I redirect.

The box in question runs W2000 with FF2.

Did anybody in here experience this weird behaviour (PHP session lost when
viewing source) with Firefox2 too?

By the way: The mainwindow just keeps functioning with the session
correctly.

Thanks for any insights.

Regards,
Erwin Moller
