Thank you, that looks exactly what I need.

What's that "dc151fc_session" all about, if you don't mind my asking -- that's your table name in the db, or the db name?

Hi!

the dc151fc_session is the database name. All my db names are prevfixed with the first seven characters of the domain name they are used by. The table name, as I recall is 'sessions' - the default expected by CGI::Session::MySQL.

I'm glad it helped, I only got it working for the first time yesterday!
