    Live and learn. Did not know about sessions, Andy. Thanks for the
    link.

    Based on my reading of that docs, sessions can either propagate via
    cookies or via url tags that php would automatically add. But the 2nd
    option requires building php as such (I would guess not available to
    shared hosting users). So just like asp, one needs to be cautious of
    cookies being enabled (unless one has access to php build).
