Bug #15120 Updated: Netscape sessions contain no data

ID: 15120 Comment by: debbie@dcwebserv.com Reported By: debbie@dcwebserv.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I'm hoping you haven't given up on me...are you still able to help, even with my many limitations? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 11:04:11] debbie@dcwebserv.com I wish I could be of more help in this issue. My "virtual server" is merely leased space on another company's server. I have some control, like access to the http.conf files and mail aliases, etc., but not root access. I wouldn't know how to configure php to run on my own personal computer at home... As far as making a reproducible script, I'm afraid that's beyond my capabilities as well. This software uses modules, class and function folders as well as tying into the MySQL database. Is there any other way I could help, like sending you a couple of the pertinent files (sessions.php)? I'm generally a very good troubleshooter and "hacker" (being able to figure out how to get a program to do what I want it to), but this one has me stumped. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 09:19:15] yohgaki@php.net I verified with my Netscape 4.77/U.S., 26-Mar-01; It does not work with my Netscape, but it works with my Mozilla 0.9.7+. I guess you have your PC or test PC, could you reproduce with your PC? If yes, please try if it happens with 4.1.1. Could you make a short reproducible script? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 06:23:57] debbie@dcwebserv.com I am in a virtual hosting situation where I have telnet access, but not root access...so I haven't been able to install 4.1.1. I have been in touch with the support folks on my server asking if they would upgrade to 4.1.1, but I don't have an answer for that yet. I'm sure they would agree to the upgrade if I could establish that this is definitely a bug with the php version 4.0.6, though. The URL of my customer's shop is http://www.jokesrwild.com/catalog The software itself can be found at http://www.oscommerce.com. It's not a live shop yet, so you can poke around all you want. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 03:04:13] yohgaki@php.net What is the URL for downloading your cart? Does this happen with 4.1.1? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 02:05:01] debbie@dcwebserv.com I have been trying to implement some shopping cart software that uses a MySQL database and sessions to track the shopping carts. When you access the shop using IE and add an item to the cart, everything is fine. But when you access the shop using a Netscape browser (version 4.61) or an AOL or CompuServe browser, try to add an item to the cart, it comes back and tells you the cart is empty. This also happens when you try to login. The sessions are kept in a /tmp directory on my server. When I go in an look at the sessions, there are sessions created for both IE and Netscape, only the Netscape session contains no data. This software is Open Source software and I have gone into many other people's shops and not had this problem which leads me to believe that it may be server/php related. What do you folks think? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15120&edit=1
