Re: [PHP] Sessions simply do not work?

[Brent Baisley]

I've never had a problem using sessions. Do you have a sample piece of 
simple session code that isn't working? You also need to have cookies 
enabled on your client if you are using the default session management 
technique. Your very first line of code, before you do anything else, 
should be session_start(). Actually, it can be in and "include" file, 
but I recall having problems if I did other stuff first. For instance, 
all my php files, except the logion, begin like this:
<?php
require('sessionInit.php');

That file checks for an existing session and retrieves session 
variables or redirects to a login screen if no session was found. Also, 
check your php configuration for sessions. You can use phpinfo() to 
check your configuration, there is a section on sessions. You might 
even have session support disabled.

to PHP 4.3.6 and apache 1.3.31.  This did not make the slighest
difference.
So, does ANYone have ideas of how to debug this?  Or is PHP simply
broken and no longer able to maintain sessions?
