Re: IIS, PHP, and session data

Are you using an old version of PHP? Don't use session_register(). Use session_start() and then reference everything with the $_SESSION array. In your code above, $logged_in and $username will not exist with register_globals off. That may be leading to the errors you see later.

The question I have is: What concerns should I have with PHP sessions when I move from Apache to IIS?

None if sessions are set up correctly on each machine and you're using the same version of PHP at the same error reporting level. -- ---John Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E/ php|architect: The Magazine for PHP Professionals – www.phparch.com
