How can I declare a $_SESSION variable so that it can be reliably
accessed by a PHP page which will never be viewed, i.e. like in an AJAX
back-end?

For instance, I have a picture upload and processing web application
that manages 3 different php pages via a flash font-end. The user
never leaves the initial page with the swf, however, the swf calls and
monitors the 3 php pages.

Moreover, these PHP pages call a few session variables like the
username, file data, etc.

The entire application works perfectly fine in IE, however, in Firefox
the pages which are never explicitly viewed do not seem to have access
to the $_SESSION variables.

Any ideas? I need to be able to access those $_SESSION variables,
echoing or printing and passing them through standard HTML will not
work.

Thanks.

Steve
