[FX.php List] Session variable problem... code

[DC]

also, you say "closed browser" but in safari on the mac you actually  
have to quit safari to have it dump session cookies.

i'm sure there are browsers out there that can or will retain cookies  
(and therefore sessions) even through browser quitting. maybe it is a  
bug in the browser or some custom configuration to that browser. what  
happens with other browsers? can you see the session cookie in the  
cookie list in the browser? what does it look like right after you  
hit your page, and then after you quit the browser and open it again  
(but before going to the page), and finally what does it look like  
after you go the the page again?

BTW, sessions do (generally) use cookies "behind-the-scenes" so you  
can't say you aren't using cookies. there are php configurations that  
will use the URL to propagate sessions, but it is more common for the  
PHP session code to use cookies. however, if you are using URL based  
session propagation i'm not sure how it would detect a browser  
quit... hmmmn. i'm sure the answer is out there.
