Sessions don't carry over to yabbse pages.

[bigtoeski]

I am very new to yabbse and to php mysql.  I am working on a website where users log into a site using php sessions where they can navigate to different areas of the site, one of them being able to navigate to the yabbse forum.  

I have placed a header file in the template.php file which checks to make sure their session is valid and has the session_start() command  before any other code is executed.  This doesn't seem to work cause any time the user navigates to yabbse somehow the session gets destroyed and the session id is ' '.  I then thought that maybe the template.php doesn't get called on all pages so I went and added session_start(); to each php file but that didn't do the trick either.  

Is there some code somewhere that gets rid of my session? I know yabbse uses cookies to handle users staying logged in from page to page and I am trying to use sessions with cookies.  Will that work?

Again I am very much a newbie   and any help or suggestions on this would help!!  Thanks in advance!

YaBBSE already has session code in it. So chances are your sessions code would be interfereing with it.

So yabbse uses persistent cookies - the ones that get stored on the client hard drive, as well as session cookies?  Is there anyway I could get my session to work along side yabbse's session?

SMF has much better session support.

YaBB SE just uses sessions for basic auth.
