[PHP] Automatic sessions not working, even with --enable-trans-id set? From: Andy Warwick (andy.war <email protected>)

I'm having problems getting automatic sessions working in PHP.

Sessions are working as expected if I tag every uri with <?php echo SID ?>,
and work fine when I have cookies enabled. When I turn off cookies, though,
the session fails to be automatically appended to the URI.

I've recompiled php with --enable-track-vars' and '--enable-trans-id', and
echo the value of SID show that it is being set, but with a new value every
page unless cookies are turned on.

The file I am using to test is:

----start file
<?php
session_register ("count");
$count++;
?>

Hello visitor, you have seen this page <?php echo $count; ?> times.<p>

To continue, <A HREF="nextpage.php">click here</A>
----end file

Is this a known issue with this version and should I go up to 4.0.2? I can
find no mention of it in the list of changes at
http://www.zend.com/zend/list_change_401.php.

Relevant sections of phpinfo() are:
