Hey Guys,

I am having one hell of a problem that I cannot figure out for the life of me. I have set up a super simple CMS for a client. Each different page of the CMS has and include file called session.php.

session.php

```php

session_start(); 
$username = $_SESSION['siteadmin'];
if (!$_SESSION['siteadmin']){
	header( 'Location: login.php?status=2' );
}

```

Every now and again, random things would disappear from the database. So, I setup a crude log system that logged any action through the CMS. Well, it happened again. The logs show this:

```auto

```

and that goes on for a couple pages. It doesnt even show 195.42.102.25 logging in! Last time it happened with 195.128.18.19. How are they computers loading the window without a session variable? Is there a security hole in my code that I am completely overlooking?!

Any insight on this issue would be awesome.

Thanks,
