Bug #16209 Updated: FDF does not work when using session_start()

ID: 16209 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: tnguyen@scpie.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: windows NT sp6 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I bet you are using IE. Use a browser that actually works and you will see that your PDF comes up just fine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 14:43:44] tnguyen@scpie.com This is not a support issue. I know how to get the fdf to work properly. It doesn't seem correct that I just add session_start() to my script and it stops working. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 14:32:17] hholzgra@php.net The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.
