you said you wanted me to tell you if I ever found the problem. One line
PHP Code:
session_start()
when I did remember to put this in, I didn't put it on the pages I wanted to use a session on. So for example - If i used it, I would have to put it on the signinprocess.php AS WELL AS the index.php in the members page.
I kind of happened upon that and was estatic when i did
EDIT: also, there is no way [that i know of] to get session variables in an included file. You can do this by just changing it to a normal variable though which is what i did
