ok here goes.. I am having this mental block on how to get this done. I am a new php head, so please go gental. This is what I am tring to do here:
I would like to be able to use session variables to get info from one page to another. The first page is set for the user to select info from a drop down and then select what type of form to use. This then sends them to the propper form on the page and prepopulates some fields. However, the session veriable is not being set and does not arrive at the forwarded page.

The dd250.php is not finished yet, I am just trying to get the session to load correctly first.

Thanks for everything!!

This is the entry.php page

The function is "session_start()" not "session_start" and it needs to be at the start of every script.
