I posted this but not sure Google works, so using my own account as it did not show up yet.

I am fairly new to PHP, and am running a shopping cart app written in PHP. Most people using this cart do not have this issue, but I do!

I have boiled the program down to a few lines, and it doesn't work. When you click on the link in the code, it gives you a session ID. Then, when you click again, it goes away. The SID appears to be blank every other time.

Why would that be? I am using PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.2, BSD and Linux, and Apache 1.3.20 something. Two different hosts. Same result. Client is IE5.5 with cookies disabled, running on NT. New session file is generated even though one already existed. This happens every other click as SID is blank every other click.

Please help me understand what the issue is.
