Thanks for your answers people; but i'm still having the problem, ¿any approach
to the reason?. Remember everything works fine in on-line servers, so it may
not be a problem of the code, but a config. one;cheers,
Nicolas.

Hello guys; i'm having a problem with session behavior; i'm going straight
to it, but first some considerations:
PHP Version 5.2.5IIF 5.1Running on localhost (XP machine)I start sessions
at the top of every page.
A the start of a test page, just as example, i do the assignment:
$_SESSION[username] = aaa;
At the end of the same page i print it's value: echo $_SESSION[username];
And i get the layout: aaa, as expecteed.
Then I redirect to another page. On that one, after initializating the
session (session_start();) print again the $_SESSION[username] content
and the result is empty. If i try the same code on a server (all this is on
my local machine), the code works as expected; so i think it is a
configuration problem, here is my php.ini part that correspond to session
configuration, so you can tell my if i'm doing anything wrong, long
comments where removed:

It works for me; I am using php-5.2.5 with lighttpd and FastCGI.
I called session_start() on both the pages.
and
I have enabled session.use_trans_sid.
You can temporarily override it from the php script by using this -
?
//...other code
ini_set(session.use_trans_sid,1);
//...other code
?
Try and report again.
