RE: [PHP] Session problems / where to register

php_value session.cookie_domain .foo.bar in your httpd.conf or even .htaccess or with an ini_set() before the session_start() call all work fine. Stick a phpinfo() call on a page and verify that the setting is there in the "Local Value" column. If it isn't, doublecheck that you are editing the right files, putting the stuff in the right place, and finally, more likely, your code isn't bogus. -Rasmus On Fri, 23 Aug 2002, Chad Day wrote: > Still no luck, both in Apache (tried php_flag and php_value), and .htaccess > (ditto) > > I have a feeling I am missing something very basic, but can't imagine what > it is.
