OK, so it wasn't the nut behind the wheel after all. I am still having
problems with sessions after upgrading to PHP 4.3.8. The test code below
works as expected on server equipped with PHP 4.3.6 and keeps the session
start time the same no matter what link you click on. However with version
4.3.8 when you click on the last link on the page it will start a new session
and the session start time will be updated. What can I change to fix this?
All the session related php.ini settings are the same on both servers and I
will repost that information here. Both servers are running the same version
of Apache, Server version: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Gentoo/Linux).
## Session settings in php.ini
[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = /tmp
session.use_cookies = 1
; session.use_only_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 100
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
;session.entropy_length = 16
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
And here is the example code that I am having trouble with.
SESSION_TEST1.php
<?php
echo("\n <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>SESSION TEST</TITLE>");
echo("\n <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">");
echo("\n <!-- Begin ");
echo("\n function popUpBI(URL) { ");
echo("\n day = new Date(); ");
echo("\n id = day.getTime(); ");
echo("\n eval(\"page\" + id + \" = window.open(URL, '\" + id + \"',
'toolbar=0,scrollbars=yes,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=400,height=400');
\"); ");
echo("\n } ");
echo("\n // End --> ");
echo("\n </script>");
echo("\n </HEAD><BODY>");
if(!$_SESSION['start_time']){
echo("\n Session Reset<BR>");
$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();
}
echo("\n <BR>Session Start Time -".date("M/d/Y h:i:s",
$_SESSION['start_time']));
echo("\n <form action=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."\" method=\"POST\">");
echo("\n <BR><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"THIS WORKS\">");
echo("\n </form>");
echo("\n <BR><A HREF=\"SESSION_TEST1.php\">THIS ALSO WORKS</A>");
echo("\n <BR><BR><A HREF=\"javascript:popUpBI('SESSION_TEST2.php')\">THIS
STARTS NEW SESSION</A>");
echo("\n </BODY></HTML>");
?>
SESSION_TEST2.php
<?php
echo("\n <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>SESSION TEST 2</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>");
echo("\n Now there is new session and the other window will update with new
time<BR>");
echo("\n <BR><a href=\"javascript:window.close();\"><font>Close This
Window</font></a>");
echo("\n </BODY></HTML>");
?>
Help!!!!
