Hello Peter,

do you start your session at the start of your page?

session_start();

which version of PHP are you running on Solaris?

You may want to change your if statement to look at the $_SESSION global
array like this:

if (array_key_exists('ono_details',$_SESSION))
{
echo $_SESSION['ono_details'];
}
else {
....
}

Hope that this helps.
