If you are running phpESP on an ISPs servers and session
information gets lost, causing you to not be able to create
surveys, read this...

I think I've figured out the problem Christian. I don't
know if it still applies to you or not tho. :-)

I was setting up a demo on sourceforge and had very similar
problems to the ones you described. It seems that since SF
uses a load balancer on a server farm, that session
information was not being passes around between them.

I would guess now, that your problem was due to the session
files being lost somehow. There is a php function:
  session_save_path("path");
which tells PHP where to put the session files.
You could try setting the path to some specific location
for phpESP, by adding a line like this above the
"session_start();" line in admin/manage.php:
  session_save_path('/home/groups/p/ph/phpesp/tmp');
That is what I used on SourceForge. You'd need to make some
directory somewhere that is readable and writable by the
user Apache runs as.
