Thank you for your interest in PHP. Known bugs in IE6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-07 20:15:51] lthaete at secmgmt dot com Description: ------------ Open the index page with IE (I was using version 6). The page data on the page and in the sess_ file will match. Now follow the link to page one the session data seen with print_r will be correct, but the session data in the sess_ file will have not changed. It is because of the image tag with no image entry. Remove the image tag and refresh and the page and the session file will match. Now replace the image tag and refresh the page the session file will revert to it origional value, the one stored from the index page even if you are on page one. This does not happen with netscape or mozilla. Reproduce code: --------------- --------------------- constants.php -------------------- <? define("PAGE_INDEX", 0); define("PAGE_ONE", 1); define("ACTION_INDEX", 0); define("ACTION_ONE", 1); ?> -------------------- index.php -------------------------- <? require "constants.php"; session_start(); $_SESSION["CURRENT_PAGE"] = PAGE_INDEX; $_SESSION["CURRENT_ACTION"] = ACTION_INDEX; ?> <html> <head> <title>Session Error Index Page</title> </head> <body> Session Error Index Page <pre> <? print_r($_SESSION); ?> </pre> <br> <a href="one.php">Session Error Page One</a> <br> <img src="" border="0" width="1" height="1"> </body> </html> ----------------- one.php ---------------------- <? require "constants.php"; session_start(); $_SESSION["CURRENT_PAGE"] = PAGE_ONE; $_SESSION["CURRENT_ACTION"] = ACTION_ONE; ?> <html> <head> <title>Session Error Page One</title> </head> <body> Session Error Page One <pre> <? print_r($_SESSION); ?> </pre> <br> <img src="" border="0" width="1" height="1"> </body> </html> ------------------------------------------------ Expected result: ---------------- Session values in the session file are changed to match session data during script execution Actual result: -------------- Session file data does not change from origional values. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28678&edit=1
