RE: [PHP] $_SESSION stuffs that come with php.ini

Hmm .. I haven't been on the list for a while so it took me some time to
answer ;).. Anyways, what I believe is a possible cause for your problem is
that there simply ain't no session started. Maybe the always start session
before the php page request setting was On if not configured, but is now
Off in your ini file.

783 ; Initialize session on request startup.
784 session.auto_start = 0

Might wants to be changed to

783 ; Initialize session on request startup.
784 session.auto_start = 1 

Also check this one

773 ; Whether to use cookies.
774 session.use_cookies = 1

In combination with

850 ; trans sid support is disabled by default.
851 ; Use of trans sid may risk your users security.
852 ; Use this option with caution.
853 ; - User may send URL contains active session ID
854 ;   to other person via. email/irc/etc.
855 ; - URL that contains active session ID may be stored
856 ;   in publically accessible computer.
857 ; - User may access your site with the same session ID
858 ;   always using URL stored in browser's history or bookmarks.
859 session.use_trans_sid = 0

If both are set to 0, sessions simply won't work since PHP cannot know
about the session id. If session.use_cookies is enabled, and
session.use_trans_sid is not than you should have Cookies enabled in your
browser for sessions to work. 

Or if you're on Windows, pay special attention to

771 session.save_path = /tmp

Which should then be changed to smth like c:\temp

That's pretty much what I can say about it .. If neither of those work, just
read the entire [Session] section in the php.ini file.

Subject: [PHP] $_SESSION stuffs that come with php.ini

I have been building the website for 6 months with everything and I didn't
have hte php.ini on it.  Just didn't realize it, so I create the php.ini
that come from php.ini_dist that came with php source code.  Now the
$_SESSION doesn't work.  I'm not able to make the php.ini to be like the one
that php work without it.  So, anyone know what is the default session
configuration?

Thanks...
