Hi All,

I’m using some script from evolt which has a cool login and admin functions.

Its been great! But i’ve hit an issue.

I have got a file which echos out the username, ie echo $session-\>username;  
This works fine when I call the php file straight from the window.

But I have a flash file which uses sendAndLoad and asks that php file to return the username. It then returns it as guest. I don’t know why its losing it along the way…

Any ideas!?

Andy
