I have the register_globals option set to Off and the session.auto_start set to 0. I am running apache 2.0 on my computer as a test server through localhost. It has also caused me trouble when I am trying to use User Authentication Applications Reproduce code: --------------- page1.php------------------------------------------------------- // This first page is suppoused to store "Hello world!" as a value in the $_SESSION['sess_var'] so it can pass it to page2.php <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['sess_var'] = "Hello world!"; echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is ' .$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />'; ?> <a href="page2.php">Next page</a> page2.php------------------------------------------------------- // Somehow it does not display "Hello World!" <?php session_start(); echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is ' .$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />'; unset($_SESSION['sess_var']); ?> <a href="page3.php">Next page</a> page3.php------------------------------------------------------- <?php session_start(); echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is ' .$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />'; session_destroy(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I would expect page1.php and page2.php to show: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Hello world! Next page But page2.php only shows: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Next page Actual result: -------------- Page1.php: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Hello world! Next page Page2.php only shows: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Next page ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32628&edit=1
