In PHP 4.2.0RC2, situation is the same... Sessions fail.
 Looks like it's not file access problem, because it writes explicitly
(by session_register) registered variable names, but not their values.
 Please investigate...

 My system: Win98/Apache-2.0.35/PHP as CGI/...

Hi,

It is fixed in PHP 4.2.0

Look for PHP 4.2.0 at:

To answer derick's post (April 6) about 'nothing being changed': this
can't be true! My session code which works absolutely fine in 4.1.1
doesn't work in 4.1.2, nor in the latest Release Candidate 2. Note: I'm
talking about Windows here, Linux works fine.

What really bothers me is that the bug was mentioned in bug 16043, but
was hard to find because it was closed, which it definitely shouldn't
be.

Also, I completely agree with all posts there: this is a MAJOR bug, and
a patch or something should be published! It worked fine in 4.1.1, and
now it's broken. DO SOMETHING PLEASE!

This bug has lost me a day, and that's about 500 billing dollars where
I come from. Thanks a lot...

For those of you looking for version 4.1.1 (the one that works, even
though it has security risks):

P.S.: I know I shouldn't be posting this here, but I'm really pissed
because of beforementioned loss of money... Nothing personal, really.

When updating PHP, remember to always replace the php4ts.dll 
with the one found in the release package.
