Hi mosquito,

Not too sure without seing it really, but you say you use dreamweaver,

Dreamweaver has a tendency to add extra characters to form values when copying or similar things. maybe you should see that a 2 hasnt been slipped behind one of the value names.

or post your code, lines 40 -50, should do it.

Because im such a noob i really cant understand what u mean by line 40-50...
I know it will take lot of space but i will copy the whole script:

DELETED CODE

I hope it helps u to help me with my problem.

Best regars,
Rain

Hello there,

I tested your code and all works fine, no seemingly visible errors or anything.

Maybe contact your hosting company and get them to sort out their php session folder.

I think its there end unless you are using a home sever, then you need to change your php.ini file somewhere.

Cant help you really, talk to hosting

Hi,

There must be a problem with PHP on your server. It doesn't recognize the session_start() function which is a standard PHP function.

You either have:

1. Sessions disabled on your server

- or -

2. Avery oldversion of PHP installed

Upload this file to your server and post the link here so we can check if this is true:

Hi,

Just as I thought - your host has disabled sessions in PHP (PHP was complied with '--disable-session'). You can either ask your hosting company to enable PHP sessions or find another host, Hesk will not work without session support (many others scripts won't either).

That sucks! I hate my web host.....
But thank u anyway for ur kind support.
