Re: PHP and Sessions?

Yes, I've also had this script working on PHP 4.0.6 - basically I'm looking for reasons as to why the sessions may not be functioning properly. Right now I'm going line by line through the configuration of PHP on the server that works (4.2.2) and the server that doesn't work (4.1.2) - I'm hoping to find some difference, otherwise I don't know how to put password protection on the site. Another interesting issue with the site that doesn't work - if I try to add a .htaccess file changing the default include directory of PHP (as I've done many other times with various hosting companies) suddenly all my .php files cease to work and error screens popup. I wouldn't call myself a newbie, but I wouldn't call myself an expert - I think I'm somewhere in the middle ground of moderate user who's clued right now ... Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Below I've compiled a list of the differences between the PHP configurations - perhaps something in here may shed some light?
