#19991 [NEW]: header() vs. session_register()

From: ipa4-2001@lycos.com Operating system: Windows 98SE PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: HTTP related Bug description: header() vs. session_register() I want to make the use of session in PHP (4.2.1) so I try this code... session_start(); $_SESSION['user'] = 'myname'; $_SESSION['password'] = 'mypassword'; which is similar to the following... $user = 'myname'; $password = 'mypassword'; session_start(); session_register('user'); session_register('password'); The problem comes when I add header() function so that the script become... session_start(); $_SESSION['user'] = 'myname'; $_SESSION['password'] = 'mypassword'; header('Location: http://www.mysite.info/member/index.php'); When I try this (on IE 5.5, Windows 98SE; Apache 1.3.26), it didn't take me to the page I specified above. It led to an error message "The requested URL could not be retrieved". I don't meet any solution of that so I think it's a bug. Can anyone help me explaining what's going on? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19991&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19991&r=isapi
