[/quote] no.i can't change it. but i don't think that is the problem. i tried it on another computer which has the same path and the directory is the same - read-only- but it works, it doesn't create a new session when i click the link

Create a php script named info.php in a directory you use for your scripts which contains: [code]<?php p.hpinfo(); ?>[/code] (remove the period from p.hpinfo) Invoke the script via a browser and look for the line that starts "[b]Configuration File (php.ini) Path[/b]". On my display it is the sixth line. Note the value in the right column. That value on my machine is "C:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin\php.ini" Open that file in notepad or your favorite editor and look for the line that starts with "session.save_path". There should be a directory there. Check that the directory exists and is not marked "read only". Ken [/quote] the directory exists but it's marked read-only. what should i do? i'm using wamp server now if it helps there is a session.save_handler=files and it says something that windows user should modify it but i don't really understand how.

That said, the fact that a client-side set-up can adversely affect your server-side coding's performance suggests you need to adjust the server-side code to compensate for the client-side differences (because those are sure to crop up over and over again and you can't exert any sensible control over client preferences). If it works some of the time and fails some of the time using the [b]same[/b] client machine and browser then there's a problem with your server-side scripting. It [i]may[/i] be worth testing performance with the same client machine running different browsers. [/quote] i used IE and Mozilla on the same computer. The same result. I'm out of ideas. Karina

hello, i'm just learning php but from what i've read if you have register_globals in php.ini set as ON then you can acces a session variable - in your case user_id - only by using it's name (without using $_SESSION['name']). so, from what i can see, and if php is like other programming languages, your user_id variable (inside IF) is just local and if you have register_globals on then you will acces the session variable called user_id. i'm not 100%. corect me if i'm wrong. hope this helps.
