   I am trying to create a session variable for use in an iframe page.

   I thought this would work but I was wrong, can anyone help please?

   The following code is in a non wordpress page.

   <?php
   session_start();
   include '../wp-config.php';
   ?>
   <?php
   $_SESSION['UserID'];
   get_currentuserinfo();
   echo $_SESSION['UserID']->ID;
   ?>
   <table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="500">
     <tr>
       <td valign="top">
   <table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="20">
     <tr bgcolor="#D0C1F7" >
       <td width="13%"></td>
       <td width="78%" class="sitename">Cycling routes supplied by </td>
       <td width="9%" align="right" valign="bottom">
   	<?php if($_SESSION['UserID']!=NULL){?>
   	<a href="home.php">Home</a>|&nbsp;|<a href="logout.php">Logout</a>
   	<?php } ?></td>
     </tr>
   </table>
   <?php echo $_SESSION['UserID'];?>

   Unfortunately you cannot use $_SESSION in WordPress. See: http://blog.ginchen.de/en/2008/08/15/session-variablen-in-wordpress/

   Why is everybody here telling people that you can't use session vars with WordPress, while referring to my blog post in which I describe how you actually CAN use them ...
