To answer the last 3 postings

I get the session_id() and save it in $_SESSION['mysession']
then in every page I compare them if not the same then I send the user back
to
the login page:
  if($_SESSION['mysession'] != session_id() ){
     // redirect to the HR admin page
     header("Location:/login.php");
  }

The redirect works!!!

YES!    $_SESSION['mysession'] is empty,  the session information is
disappearing
from one page to the other.

When i do a phpinfo() I do not have any $_SESSION variables;
