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
<code>
($_SESSION['OK']   = TRUE;
</code>
On the following pages , the first thing you do is check the existence
of the variable like this
<code>
if (! isset($_SESSION['OK']))
{
    session_start();
}
</code>

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.
