Operating System: windows 2000 professional

New Comment:
I would have liked a simple header redirect as well, but unfortunately
the other suggestions didn't solve the issue. However, setting a
javascript redirect seemed to do the trick. I'm using Win2k
professional, IIS 5.0, PHP Version 4.3.4
This will work on IE browsers. Just modify the javascript for netscape
compatibility.
<?
//...perform login check, produce $errStr if fails
if($errStr){
header("Location: login.php?err=".$errStr);
}else{
print '<html>
<body
onload=eval("window.location.href=\'http://blahblahblah/default.php\';");></body>
</html>';
}
?>

Hi
I've also had a similar problem of session variables not being passed
following a call to header(). I am running PHP 4.0.15 on an XP m/c.
The following worked for me, by placing a session_write_close() before
the call to header, followed by and exit():
session_write_close();
header("Location: $strPage");
exit();
I hope this will be of use to some.

This issue will not be able to be fixed by PHP.
Some browser does not set cookie for initial request.
To make sure cookie is enabled _always_, user must check it first.

Use session helper html or other people post without JavaScript
version.

I have experienced a similar problem with Kannan but not
due to session.auto_start. In my php.ini session.auto_start
is set to 0.
I use the following scripts. When run, either with PHP Version 4.0.6,
or with Version 4.1.1 and IIS under NT 4.0,
the second script - test_login.php - starts a new session
and variable $username is unset. When run with PHP 4.0.1
and Apache under Unix they work just fine.
// ------ login.php ------
<?php
session_start();
session_register("username");
$username = "justme";
Header("Location: ./test_login.php");
?>
// ------ test_login.php ------
<?php
session_start();
if ( isset ($username) )
echo $username;
else
echo "Not authenticated!";
?>
// -----------------------
According to Chris 'This is actually not a bug at all but rather
behavior of HTTP'.
If this is the case then how comes that I don't have this
problem when I use PHP Version 4.0.1 with Apache?

I'm not sure what is going on, since I didn't have time to take a
look.
To report: Is chris' comment enough?
