hi guys,

solved the problem. it was the register_globals setting in the php.ini
file.

made a .htacess file and set it to off; works 100%

also made all redirects like this:

session_write_close();
header("Location: buddyList.php");
exit();


note the session_write_close(); and exit(); statements

If you do not write out the session before redirecting the browser,
there is
a chance that the second page will start up, and read in the session
record,
before the first page has finished shutting down and writing the session
record, causing lost session data.

So i hope this can help others who have the same problem as i've just had!!

Angelo
