Try using the fuction session_write_close() after your done setting the session vars. dunno but it might work :) Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leston Drake" <ldrake@lpsoftware.com> To: "Johnson, Kirk" <kjohnson@zootweb.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 1:28 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] sessions trouble I have register_globals=Off (which is what I prefer to program for). But if I change register_globals to On, and use the session_register() function, it works. With register_globals Off, using $_SESSION doesn't work. I thought that $_SESSION would work regardless of whether register_globals was On or Off. At 12:19 PM 6/18/2002, you wrote:

Check the register_globals setting in php.ini. It looks like it is "on"

the problem server. If so, then you have two choices: 1. Turn it "off" 2. Change your code to this style: session_start(); $node = 10.2; session_register('node'); echo $node; Kirk

I'm using some code like this to test it (thanks to Ed): ------------------------------------------------------------------ session_start(); echo ":" . $_SESSION["node"] . "<br>"; $_SESSION["node"] = "10.2"; echo ":" . $_SESSION["node"] . "<br>"; ------------------------------------------------------------------ Then there is an href link to the same document, to test whether or not it can see $_SESSION["node"] the next time. It can't. The output for both requests looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Warning: Undefined index: node in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\test5.php on line 3 : :10.2 test ------------------------------------------------------------------ On another server

(http://www.lpsoftware.com/phptest/test5.php) it works as expected. But I can't figure out why it doesn't work here. I'm running WinME, Apache 1.3.2, Php 4.1.2 I have cookies enabled (actually prompted so I can 'see' it) for my

browser.

Is there some setting in php.ini that I need to change? BTW, being a php newbie I really appreciate the helpful people on this list! You're a great resource.
