Hi...
I have a script that runs on other platforms, but I can't get it to
work on this platform. (I suspect it's not a PHP code bug, but haven't
been able to find a problem in the setup or anything I've done.)
The problem is that PHP creates a sess... file in /tmp (which is global
read/write/execute), but the file ALWAYS has zero bytes, which of
course means the next screen fails becuase it can't get it's assumed
data...
The code below is a truly trivial test case which fails. The test case
also fails the same way with the new style session support. (The full
application is quite large and it's not reasonable to go convert the
entire application to the new style.) The code does the same with or
without a session_write_close() call.
The "real" code runs on a PHP 4.3.4 system that's not net accessible.
But the code fails the same on a similar (SuSE SLES8 on and IBM
mainframe with PHP 4.2.2) system that is web accessible. You can run
the test for yourself at www.sytek-services.com/page1.php. And you can
also see the PHP Info page for that system at
www.sytek-services.com/phpinfo.php.
Like I said, I suspect it's something in the setup, but I've not been
able to find out what... Thanks for any help or pointers...

Reproduce code:
---------------
page1.php:
<?
session_start();
$test='foobar';
session_register('test');
$test='fooey';
header('Location: page2.php');
?>
page2.php:
<?
session_start();
echo "test is $test<br>";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
test is fooey
Actual result:
--------------
test is
