This does only work *with* using a cookie.

No, this is exactly what I wanted to know. But it would contradict
everything I experienced with sessions until now - and it does. I just
tested your code (with session_start() also at the top of page2). It does
not work because there is absolutely no relation between page1 and page2
with your code. In this case a new session is being started on page two.
You have got to pass the session id from one page to another (when not using
a cookie) otherwise it won't work and rightly so.
Maybe your memory played a trick on you ;) Don't mind.
