Summary: Session saved file empty.
Status: Bogus
Type: Bug
Package: Session related
Operating System: WIN XP HOME sp2
PHP Version: 5.0.4
New Comment:
I admit, the problem is here. PHP v5.1.2 (Apache v2.2.0 with "mass
virtual hosting")
empty session file. I'm trying to install UebiMiau v2.7.11 webmail
system. It took me two days to understand what's going on. $_SESSION
gets modified correctly even using references but never get written to
session file.
also the sample provided by "piero dot mac at gmail dot com" works as
stated, i.e. $_SESSION isn't working as expected.

Ok. Maybe it's my fault don't explain very well the problem. I try again
... the last. Forget $_POST. Find here another example:
Page1.php
<?php
session_start();
$_test = array('one'=> 'first','two' => 'second', 'last'=>'last');
$_SESSION = $_test;
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_test);
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<a href='page2.php'>to page 2</a>";
?>
page2.php
<?php
session_start();
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SESSION);
?>
$_SESSION in page2.php is empty. It's no good.
try now another one.
Page1_a.php
<?php
session_start();
$_test = array('one_a'=> 'first','two_a' => 'second',
'last_a'=>'last');
foreach($_test as $key => $value) {
$_SESSION[$key] = $value;
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_test);
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<a href='page2.php'>to page 2</a>";
?>
now $_SESSION is correctly full.
I repeate once again... before rel. 5.0.4 never happen this
problem.
Nothing to do with POST, isset() or empty(). Only it was the more
lighting problem for me.
Thnx for the attention and best regard.

Read carefully my last comment.
Change isset() to !empty() and see that it works perfectly.

ref.
$_POST is always set, it's just empty when there is no POST data.
So it comes that you set _SESSION to empty array().
No bug here -> bogus.
Problem is not POST of course is empty after refresh page. Problem is
"NO DATA had stored in session save file".
you can try also:
if(isset($_POST) && !empty ($_POST)) {
Php 5.0.3 and previoulsy are true.
Thanx any way...

Sorry, but I see a refresh link error in page2.php
Last line is href = "page2.php" and not href=bug2.php....
page2.php <-- correct version, thanx.
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST)) {
$_SESSION = $_POST; }
else {
$_POST = $_SESSION; }
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<a href='page2.php'>refresh</a></pre>";
?>
After page refresh $_SESSION is empty and any session data stored in
session save file.
