You've got 91 posts here... you should know by now how to get answers. Post the error, or problem you're having. Post all the code. Where is $username coming from?

I actually had this issue yesterday

Therefore, I think your problem is with the session. To check this simply comment out the line where you assgin the username, and instead try to assgin something else to it, like $username = "NAME". Run the script again and if it prints NAME, you'll have to go and look for the problem in your connect.php file probably.

New D.I.C Head Joined: 7 Aug, 2007 Posts: 22 My Contributions	Try echoing the cid var. Maybe the problem is on the page that you set the session var username. You must put the session_start EVERYWHERE you need to use the session vars (this include when you set them)... This post has been edited by blux: 5 Oct, 2007 - 08:48 AM
