Today, I was programming a page to get information through the server from a previous page, and I discovered the problem was related to session variables.

Now I know to use [http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-save-path.php session_save_path()] before declaring a session in PHP so that session variables are stored in my own folder instead of the same folder the hundreds of other sites on my shared server use.
