Just a thought that came to my mind: Have you disabled browser caching?

And about the "push" is undefined in the logs: How do you call the
script for the first time? With or with push parameter?

It sounds like some kind of memory problem. Can you run a memory tester on that 
server to see if that's the cause?

Er… I looked where it caused a problem, it seems that $_GET, $_POST and 
$_SESSION are indeed all affected. Any clue of a faulty installation that would 
cause problem for many surperglobals?

Okay, let me paraphrase: when I run the ping pong scripts written up there, I 
have a blank in var_dump($_SESSION) if and only if I have 

[Mon Mar 18 13:25:37 2013] [error] [client 184.151.114.111] PHP Notice:  
Undefined index: push in

on apache log. So my question really is, it is apache that handles the posts 
and gets requests, as I use both and it seems that the non-persistence of data 
occurs before the storage in $_SESSION, is it possible that it is Apache that 
is faulty?

$_GET['push'] will be undefined if you still have your session stored, but
accessing the script directly. It should have nothing to do with faulty
Apache.

Hm… Just noticed something new in fact; was looking a last time before 
considering reinstallation on a new server: it seems that the $_GET['push'] is 
undefined. In the other scripts I use where I have this problem, I'm using 
$_POST variables though but still don't get stored in $_SESSION. If I'm 
correct, this may implies that it is apache that is faulty right?

Your settings seem to be fine. My best guess would be hardware failure,
though it seems unlikely. Did you check apache (or whatever webserver
you're using) logs for any errors or warnings?

What does phpinfo() show about session stuff? Especially things like
save_handler and cookie_lifetime settings.

[PHP] Session variable not persisting

2013-03-18 Thread Éric Oliver Paquette
Hi all, 

I'll be swift in my explanation as I can't find in any way the source of the 
problem; it seems to be installation-related. 

At execution, sometimes (randomly it seems at first), variable session aren't 
properly stored. 

=

First things first, about installation : 

uname -a -m -p yields :

Linux cl-t180-253cl.privatedns.com 2.6.18-308.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 7 04:16:51 
EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

php -v yields :

PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Jun 27 2012 12:25:48) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

=

To make sure it is not caused by any other part of my scripts, I just created 
two scripts that have replicated the problem :

SCRIPT #1 [ping.php] 





SCRIPT #2 [pong.php]  





##

In fact, when I run this on my server I randomly have empty entries in the 
$_SESSION array. Any thoughts on this? Is this a known bug (haven't found it…)

Thanks!
