This is unneeded, and may be your problem (although I'm pretty PHP would just
ignore it).  $_POST and $_SESSION are superglobals: they are available in all
scopes.

Double check that you're actually getting what you expect:
var_dump($userid);
var_dump($passwd);

>    $_SESSION['ses_orgid'] = odbc_result($rsSecurity,'OrgID');

This should work, although I would double check that the odbc_result() calls
return what you expect before investigating it as session troubles first. 
var_dump(); is your friend.
