Using session in coppermine

[catbegemot]

Hi all
I have a problem with using sessions in coppermine. I need to create two pages - one that gathers user input and another one that sends an e-mail to the address provided by user. In order to protect the second page from being used by some one else I thought of implementing some sort of security scheme based on sessions (the source code provided).
The problem is that the submit.php does not see the values passed by the form (at least they are not in $mail, $subj, $msg variables). I'm a newbie in PHP, so there's possibly something I'm doing wrong here, HOWEVER I tested these exact pages without coppermine and they worked just fine. So the question is - what am I doing wrong?

PPS. I have stripped all the formatting and excessive comments for this post only. Otherwise it would just clutter the code.

I can't see how this is supposed to be related to coppermine...

It's related to coppermine in the following way: the pages were working "stand alone" but were not when put into coppermine environment. It was the same code, same everything, I just added whatever was in anycontent.php and - boom - they stopped working. As I stated in my first post:

I tested these exact pages without coppermine and they worked just fine

on the contrary to the testing with coppermine when they didn't.

But nevermind though, I already figured the whole thing now, so it is working, although in a different way

Would you care to share what you did to work around the issue?
