That's what I want to do, but I need to prevent the value of session id 
from changing if for some reason they revisit or refresh the index.php 
page...as that is where the value is created.

I've seen discussions on here about populating a hidden field and then 
testing that to see if it's not empty as a way to handle this, I think.
