#15978 [Com]: Losing fields values after opening a new window

ID: 15978 Comment by: christos.e@cytanet.com.cy Reported By: crikou@xsilence.net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: WIN 2K PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I have exactly the same problem. I am using the phakt 1.3 extension to build a PHP site with UltraDev (www.interakt.ro). My site restricts access to users according to their access level. I have a menu in my main page which has links to several other pages. When a user clicks on a link, a new window opens (target="_blank") with the linked page. The 'Restrict Access to Page' server behavior sometimes (almost half of the times I tried it) denies access to a logged in, legitimate user, while other times it works fine. I did a little experiment: while having the page open, I modified the code and removed the target="_blank" from the link. I refreshed the page, and clicked it. And it worked. The linked page opened correctly - but not in a new window of course. Apparently the problem appears whenever a new browser window opens. If the problem is browser-related, is there any way do you know of any way it can be solved? Thnx Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-10 06:36:33] sander@php.net This behaviour depends on your browser, not on PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-09 19:43:34] crikou@xsilence.net Really strange...I believe it is a session problem (session_cache_limiter) Here is the thing: I'm using PHP4 sessions, and so have set the session_cache_limiter to 'private, must revalidate', to keep history. I have a page A.PHP with form. This page calls B.php. After sending datas from a.php to b.php and then hit the back button (to go back to a.PHP), I found my formfields with values always here. OK. Everything works fine. But when I send datas from a.php to b.php ,and then, on b.php page, I open a new window (with <A TARGET="_blank", or _new, or JS window.open, or right-click open in a new window), and try to go back to a.php again, then my fields are empty!!!! Hu! You can try on www.php.net, the problem is there too! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15978&edit=1
