ID: 18362 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: triffid@totalise.co.uk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: not enough information (yes we want your complete php.ini by times, as stated in the "How to report a bug" page (http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php) and the information given is not consistent (apache 1.32.26 in the first comment, guess that should be 3 not 32, apache 2.0.39 in the second) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-17 17:32:30] triffid@totalise.co.uk Why Bogus ? Also IE exploer tends to crash a lot while running apache & PHP but not sure if this is due to PHP or Apache 2.0.39! Here are my scripts.. script.php 1 then script2.php both are purely a test, but on my system, does'nt pass the session var. Do you REALLY want me to past in to here my httpd.conf and php.ini ? I will try to send this also directly to your email address yohgaki@php.net or letme know how to attach these files somewhere.. Here is the scripts (run script 1 first) Thanks A. Trayford. ---------------------------------------- script1.php ----------- <? session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION['andyt'])) { $_SESSION['andyt'] = "Hi Tony"; } else { $_SESSION['andyt'] = "Hi Andy"; } echo "<br>"; echo $_SESSION['andyt']; echo "<br>"; ?> <html> <head> <title>Session Test script 1</title> </head> <body> If you have just run this, click here to load <A href="script2.php">script 2</a>, you should see a name passed via session var's </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------ script2.php ----------- <? session_start(); // If a session var is available, print it echo "is there a session var? ["; echo $_SESSION['andyt']; echo "], we'll soon find out!<br>"; ?> <html> <head> <title>Session test script 2</title> </head> <body> If script - test1.php was run first, you should see a name in the square brackets! </body> </html> --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-15 22:01:33] yohgaki@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

I have however had no problems at all with windows 98.. I have configured php & apache as per instructions & have enabled register globals, but no matter what I do I cannot seem to get session variables to be passed to other scripts!(either $_session OR session_register ) If I use the same configuration files(httpd.conf & php.ini)on windows 98 all works fine, How crazy is that ! I am using the CGI method with apache. I also am downloading your latest bug fix version. I am no way an expert, Am I missing something important ?, If you can suggest a solution to curing this I would be grateful.. Thanks.. Andy T P.S. (What is the most recommendable Linux software ?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18362&edit=1
