Bug #17144: No Session ID and losing Session Var's between pages

From: eric.jones@hua.army.mil Operating system: FreeBSD 4.5 PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: No Session ID and losing Session Var's between pages Config line: ./configure '--prefix=/usr/opt/php' '--with-apxs=/usr/opt/apache/sbin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/opt/mysql' '--with-pgsql=/usr/opt/pgsql' '--with-mm' '--with-ldap' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-shared' '--enable-mhash' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gettext' '--enable-mailparse' '--enable-libgcc' '--enable-calendar' '--with-openssl' Other details: Register Globals = OFF Enable Trans SID = ON Set Session Cookies = 1 Session Auto Start = 1 I have a login form that asks for a used name and password. Once the user has been authenticated they are assigned a set of $_SESSION Variables: ----code---- $_SESSION['login'] = $_POST['login']; $_SESSION['password'] = $_POST['password']; $_SESSION['logged'] = $_POST['logged']; $_SESSION['action'] = $action; $_SESSION['rank_id'] = $rank_id; ----end code ---- When the users click on a link in the menu system all these variables are lost (ie echos come up blank). If i add the session_start(); at the top of the page then the variables are passed without a problem. If at any time i try to echo out the Session ID (which for me is SFDICsession) i get a blank value using the following code: ----code---- <?=$_REQUEST['SFIDCsession']?> ----end code ----- thoughts?
