Thanks David!

My version of DW CS4 is not adding the session_start code automatically. I had to manually put that in, then the pages display correctly. Is this a bug with DW or perhaps I need to update my software?

Yeah - if i call the session variable on the same page as it is created, it appears fine, but i can't get it to appear when i move onto the next page....

If you're doing this on your own computer, have you set up
session.save_path correctly in php.ini?

You need to remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line and
point to a temporary folder. On most Windows systems, it should look
like this:

session.save_path "C:\WINDOWS\Temp"

I changed the session.save_path to what you said, but still not luck...

Did you put:

<?php session_start(); ?>

at the top of the following page to enable sessions?
