Hi,

On my homepage I have say:

Then on another page I might have:

I go to the home page and I get the home breadcrumb. If I click page 2 I still get the home breadcrumb until I press F5 or click page 2 for a second time. Then when I click home I get the page 2 breadcrumb until I press F5 or home again.

Why isn't the session variable updating until I refresh?

The idea that pops up in my head is that you might be using a construction like this:

Home page: $_SESSION['breadcrumb'] = 'Home';

Page 2: Read in the session (which is Home) and echo it and than you do $_SESSION['breadcrumb'] = 'Home > Page 2';

On the first load of page 2 this would show you Home.
On the second load of page 2 it is set to Home > Page 2 which would be right.

If you are sure that you are not Reading the session before Setting it, than you might want to post the code here so people can see the problem. ;)

Sounds like what Parvus said. Are you setting this variable before outputting any html?

Yes, I'm setting the variable before I call for it. But I'm setting the variable in the middle of some HTML, so this is the problem?

Is there a way to force a refresh of this variable after I set it, because it needs to be set within the HTML.

Sorry for not following up, me and the wife decided to stay at a Casino and blow some cash as a late birthday get-a-way for her. :)

You should post the code on pastebin, or here if it's short enough. I just wrote a quick test and the variable should set after headers are sent and reflect the appropriate value with absolutely no problem, so there must be something else occurring that we don't know about.

Just a quick thought aside of the problem, why do you need $_SESSION if you set and read something on the same page ?
Since you could do this with any variable and $_SESSION is normally used to read something in, that you set on a previous page.
