Alright that's good to hear. In a specific case that I'm having this problem
the main PHP file is including file (content) that refers to
$_SESSION[nSID_PeopleID] in main. This value is vital in rendering the page.
So it should be there right? Also about removing session_name(), how can I
do this. It was my understanding that you must call session_name before
session_start() and session_register(). Is this not correct?

Yes I've never felt good about using REMOTE_USER. I will implement that idea
right now, thanks!
