ID: 16263 Comment by: michaellai2006 at yahoo dot com Reported By: kur at natur dot cuni dot cz Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: ANY PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment: Same thing for 5.1.16 I tried other people's suggestion, did not work for me neither. Please give a workaround. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-12-02 04:51:44] failmore at yahoo dot com Similar problem happend to me. The following is my configuration: Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.1.16 I tried three different browsers, IE, FireFox, Maxthon same error happens. I host the website on my local machine, Win XP Home, therefore, I try to access the site using http://localhost/testsite add default_charset = "iso-8859-1"; in php.ini, did not work set setting cookie_domain=localhost did not work set session.use_trans_sid on did not work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-22 11:13:38] jclewley at netprospex dot com Try setting cookie_domain in php.ini to a period (.) followed by your domain. For example, ".google.com". The default typically tells PHP to use www.google.com which will cause problems if the user types google.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-16 18:24:33] tobias dot hug at alpinenet dot ch I've got the same problem with php 5.1.6. session data is not maintained between pages. If I add default_charset = "iso-8859-1"; in php.ini, everything works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-15 18:58:29] william dot li dot 1983 at gmail dot com I got the same problem. Callin session.start() create a new session id and a corresponding file and session data are not maintained between pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-18 22:20:35] cmi at colcenter dot org May be same problem .. 4.2.3 version, WinXP Only IE 5 and IE 5.5 After login, any link on the page to a file with session_start() sets new (empty) session, and therefore am returned to login page. IE 6, Opera and Firefox all work correctly. Adding php_flag session.use_trans_sid on to my htaccess fixes it, but would rather not do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
