In the ops last post, they neglected a semicolon <? echo $_SESSION["seekerid"]?> should have been <? echo $_SESSION['seekerid']; ?> as illustrated in your response.
However as a word of advice, php short tags should be avoided as there is no guarantee that they are enabled if you were to move your code to a new server.
Also if you are going to use short tags <?=$_SESSION['seekerid']?> is a cleaner approach. but ONLY works with short tags.
