Bug #16167: Variables not passed between pages

From: rohitkaul_2000@indiainfo.com Operating system: Solaris 8 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Variables not passed between pages We have installed php4.1.2 on iplanet 6.0 Webserver on a Solaris 8 OS. I have searched high and low everywhere and somehow I have not being able to figure out why my session variables are not working properly even though I have installed the latest php 4.1.2. The following config options were used: ./configure' '-enable-sysvshm=yes' '--enable-sysvsem=yes' '--with-nsapi=/ecomm/iplanet/nes60/product' '--enable-libgcc' Our application is running fine when we have register_globals=on. But as soon as register_globals=off is set nothing seems to work. I couldn't even get these simple scripts working where we have to pass variable values between php pages. I have tried all approaches as listed below. ################################## nn1.php <? $session_register["newvar"] = 123; header("Location: nn2.php"); ?> nn2.php <? echo $_SESSION["newvar"]; ?> #################################### Have even tried this variant of nn1.php nn1.php and it still doesn't work. <? $_SESSION["newvar"] = 123; header("Location: nn2.php"); ?> ##################################### Urgent help is required because we might have to do a lot of code changes owing to introduction of register_globals=off (because of security guidelines).
