First, I really enjoy working with PHP so I don't want to get something
started, but I also work with ASP and there is no such thing as "turning on
and off" session support. It's just there! The only problem that you run
into is if someone has cookies turned off...but I live with that.

Anyway, I'll remember to put "session_start()" at the top of each page...and
before any headers...which I also discovered the hard way.

Thanks to all...
