:o
I liitle embarrsed because I feel I am a fairly compatent person but for the
life of me I can not seem to grasp how sessions work. It seems that I am
missing a simple, but very important step. I am having the hardest time
understanding just where everything goes and how to get it there.

This is my objective:
When a person fills in an form and submits the information; the conformation
page provides them with a control number for future reference. As it is, I
have the mysql server generating this number. What is the best way to
accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for answering such and obvious question.

It's a random number generated which only lasts for that one visit.
So using this as a link, won't work.

It would seem you need to have a column in your DB that is auto
generated that more or less works like a password.
