Re: session_is_started()

I would do the following : on the first page you start the session with 
session_start and then you include an OK field in the session

($_SESSION['OK']   = TRUE;

On the following pages , the first thing you do is check the existence 
of the variable like this

if (! isset($_SESSION['OK']))
{
    session_start();
}


Your problems derives most probably from teh fact that in your php.ini 
the session.autostart is set to On , starting a session automatically 
once 1 time started.
