Bug #16585 Updated: Use of $_SESSION to set variable doesn't save variable

ID: 16585 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: cedric.dufour@cogito-ergo-soft.com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: It's propably the same issue as everyone else is having. Please try the PHP 4.2.0RC3 from http://www.php.net/~derick/ as others have reported that it works fine for them. And don't forget to replace the php4ts.dll in your system with the one in the 4.2.0RC3 package. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-13 06:50:03] cedric.dufour@cogito-ergo-soft.com Following the 'Session handling' documentation and expriencing problems with a production script, I wrote the following test script: test.php: <?php session_start(); echo "Session ID : ".session_id()."<BR>\r\n"; if( !isset( $_SESSION['Test'] ) ) { $_SESSION['Test'] = "bla bla bla"; echo "Defined : ".$_SESSION['Test']."<BR>\r\n"; } else { echo "Existing : ".$_SESSION['Test']."<BR>\r\n"; } //session_write_close(); ?> which I expect to set the 'Test' session variable on the first call to the page and then return the 'Test' session variable on subsequent calls to the script. This works FINE with PHP 4.1.1 but DOES NOT WORK with PHP 4.1.2 (though the session ID is the same). I had to revert to the old 'session_register()' function for the script to work in PHP 4.1.2, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS not working either. Any clue ?
