[PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #5880: sessions not working From: rusty <email protected>
Date: 07/31/00

From: rusty <email protected>
Operating system: solaris 2.7
PHP version: 4.0.1pl2
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: sessions not working

This is an addendum to bug id 5770. That bug report contains my config files.

sas asked me to explain what I mean by "sessions are not working". What is happening is that the variable I registered with session_register does not show up in the next page. My previous example .php files may not have been the best example; here are updated versions. Not only does the registered variable not get passed, but the value returned by session_id() keeps changing. I tried it with both IE 5.5 and with Netscape Communicator 4.7. I also tried it with cookies turned off in IE 5.5 and I removed all of the cookie files from IE's cache directory; still no success.

(The sess_ files in /tmp do have data in them.)

===> start of aaa.php <===
<?
  session_start();

  if (! isset($email)) {
    $email = "abc";
    session_register("email");
  }
?>

<html>

<body>
<? echo("Session id is " . session_id() . "<p>"); ?>
<a href="bbb.php">Continue</a>
</body>

</html>
===> end of aaa.php <===

===> start of bbb.php <===
<?
  session_start();

  if (! isset($email))
    $email = "(unset)";
?>

<html>

<body>
<?
  echo("<p>Your login is $email<p>");
  echo("Session id is " . session_id() . "<p>");
?>
<a href="aaa.php">Back to aaa</a>
</body>
===> end of bbb.php <===
