the new syntax is "session_name("admin_ID");"

Altho I believe you dont need to have that much controll of the session...

I've tried opening a specific session to no avail. the only help in the book;"Beginning PHP 5.3" is on lettting the browser select its own session.

The way I am using sessions is

Code:

 <?php session_start(); ?>

That line goes at the very TOP of the HTML page... even before the <html> tags.

Then latter you can access the session variable that were started with that particular browser... Each individual browser starts its own session. To set session variables you could use "$_SESSION['admin_ID'] = $myadmin_ID" And access the variable in other pages as "myadmin_ID = "$_SESSION['admin_ID']"

Heres hoping you don't have as much trouble learning about sessions as I did.
