[PHP] PHP and sessions
Hello Can anybody help me with sessions? Where is the problem? I start session in "start.php" script. $split = "http://";. $_SERVER['HTTP-HOST']. dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']). "/split.php"; ?> target="_blank" title="Split user">Split testing __ After link cliking in IE or OPERA they start new session. How can I conect to existing session? session_start(); // unable to connect to existing session, create another one. ?> .. .. .. I used this two scripts wit DeepNet Explorer and all works fine, but in IE and OPERA function session_start() called from split.php start new session so I can't read $_SESSON array than.

Re: [PHP] PHP and Sessions
yes, set the cookie expiration to 0. Can be done in php.ini, or with the function mentioned. use ini_set() or change the value.

Re: [PHP] PHP and Sessions?
Yes, I've also had this script working on PHP 4.0.6 - basically I'm looking for reasons as to why the sessions may not be functioning properly. Right now I'm going line by line through the configuration of PHP on the server that works (4.2.2) and the server that doesn't work (4.1.2) - I'm hoping to find some difference, otherwise I don't know how to put password protection on the site. Another interesting issue with the site that doesn't work - if I try to add a .htaccess file changing the default include directory of PHP (as I've done many other times with various hosting companies) suddenly all my .php files cease to work and error screens popup. I wouldn't call myself a newbie, but I wouldn't call myself an expert - I think I'm somewhere in the middle ground of moderate user who's clued right now ... Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Below I've compiled a list of the differences between the PHP configurations - perhaps something in here may shed some light? PHP 4.2.2 (works fine) './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-mcrypt' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-xml' '--with-swf=/usr/local/flash' '--with-gd=../gd-1.8.4' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-imap=../imap-2001.BETA.SNAP-0107112053' '--with-ming=../ming-0.1.1' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--with-curl' '--with-zlib' Settings: allow_call_time_pass_reference ON extension_dir ./ magic_quotes_gpc ON register_argc_argv ON sendmail_from no value unserialize_callback_func no value variables_order EGPCS PHP 4.1.2 (doesn't work) './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext=/usr' '--enable-safe-mode' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-zlib' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-regex=system' '--with-ttf' '--with-db' '--with-gdbm' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-wddx=shared' '--enable-mm=shared' '--enable-xml' '--enable-ftp' '--disable-debug' '--with-libdir=/usr/lib' '--with-db3' '--with-interbase=shared' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-ldap' '--with-imap' '--with-curl=shared' '--with-pdflib=shared' Settings: allow_call_time_pass_reference OFF extension_dir /usr/lib/apache/php magic_quotes_gpc OFF register_argc_argv OFF sendmail_from [EMAIL PROTECTED] variables_order GPCS Thanks -Tim

Re: [PHP] PHP and Sessions?
But he said that it's working in 4.2.2 (default off), but not working in 4.1.2 (default on). If I remember correctly, $HTTP_POST_VARS['whatever'] worked before 4.2.x, right? What about things like $_POST $_SERVER, etc. did those work prior to 4.2.0?
