That works beautiful and simple enough to tell whether a user is logged in or not. To take it one step further, since I am still losing my $_SESSION['userid'] variable on www.example.com, would it be good practice to find the user id by retrieving it from the mysql row that contains the $_SESSION['SESS_ID'] string vs. passing it around as a session variable? Thank you for your help!

function validateUser($id){ session_regenerate_id (); $_SESSION['valid'] = 1; $_SESSION['userid']=$id; return true; } function isLoggedIn(){ if($_SESSION['valid']) return true; return false; } So when the user logs in with a correct password, I pass their id to the validateUser function. This sets the variable. Then I is the isLoggedIn function to see if there is a session site while they are on the site. I have no .html files on the server. I have some other php that works fine on example.com and example.com/index.php

I'm using Session variables for the first time on a site I'm developing. I had it working fine while I was doing some admin and testing in subfolders. But the problem is I'm losing the session variables when I load the page from www.example.com, but it works from www.example.com/index.php. I would be happy to post some code if needed.
