Thanks for your reply Eno. I check if the session exists (ie I create a new session only if session_id() returns an empty string). I didnt know that getAttribute and setAttribute will not work if i turn off session auto_start. What should I do to have it persist the complete session information?
(I didnt know turning off auto_start also turned off saving session data at the end of the request. This might be the explanation why flash doesnt work since it also uses the setAttribute, getAttribute calls) Any Symfony developers here that can answer this question?
