//session_start(); 

to

session_start(); 

[dscriptor]

session_start();

i already did that....but still...there's a problem..

[logic_earth]

And the Problem is? (You know you can edit your previous post.)

[dscriptor]

the session variable is not passed when it is calling the function

function wapdownloads($sortq) 

[penguinator]

Don't you need a } right after

//some code here...................
$smarty->display("bills/wapdownloads.html");
  return true;
} 

I don't see where the function is closed.

[dscriptor]

i already edited it...but the problem is not in there...

Seems you need to do some debugging.

Are any other SESSION variables in place? You can see by doing the

var_dump($_SESSION);

If your session is empty at all, it means you have troubles with session initialization, otherwise - somewhere else.
