I use Apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.1.0 as an ISAPI module on Windows2000 SP2
with NTFS.

I tried 4.1.2 when it came out and today - 15/4/2002 - 4.2.0 RC4.

I keep have to downgrade back to 4.1.0 because my complete
session-based website ceased to work when using ANY PHP version greater
than 4.1.0 (however never tried 4.1.1).

It heavily relies on URL transmitted sessions .... so without cookies.
I set register_globals to OFF en use $_SESSION etc throughout the app.

I'm really curious when sessions will work again, since I'd like to
benefit from the solved security issues of 4.1.x in >= 4.1.2.

I had this problem on Win2k, IIS5 with versions 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, but I
upgraded today to 4.2rc4 and it worked perfectly! 

Thanks Derick!

I'm experiencing the same Problem on 4.1.1, but less than on 4.1.2

I downgraded to 4.1.1 afer the session-system wasnt working at all
anmore, now it still happens, but only once in about 15 times.

OS: Win2000

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/...
