RE: [PHP] PHP Sessions

Hi, I'm using PHP 4.1.2 on the server with problems - it's hosted on a shared server and thus I have no direct access to much of anything. I have had this script running on versions 4.0.6 thru 4.2.2 with no problems until now. Here are the settings attained from phpinfo(); for the server that does not work - 4.1.2 ... and from the server that does work 4.2.2 After the Configure Command of each is a list of settings that differ. Much thanks for responding so quickly and at such a late hour!! Thanks -Tim PHP 4.2.2 (works fine) './configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-mcrypt' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-xml' '--with-swf=/usr/local/flash' '--with-gd=../gd-1.8.4' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-imap=../imap-2001.BETA.SNAP-0107112053' '--with-ming=../ming-0.1.1' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--with-curl' '--with-zlib' Settings: allow_call_time_pass_reference ON extension_dir ./ magic_quotes_gpc ON register_argc_argv ON sendmail_from no value unserialize_callback_func no value variables_order EGPCS PHP 4.1.2 (doesn't work) './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext=/usr' '--enable-safe-mode' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-zlib' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-regex=system' '--with-ttf' '--with-db' '--with-gdbm' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-wddx=shared' '--enable-mm=shared' '--enable-xml' '--enable-ftp' '--disable-debug' '--with-libdir=/usr/lib' '--with-db3' '--with-interbase=shared' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-ldap' '--with-imap' '--with-curl=shared' '--with-pdflib=shared' Settings: allow_call_time_pass_reference OFF extension_dir /usr/lib/apache/php magic_quotes_gpc OFF register_argc_argv OFF sendmail_from me@localhost.com variables_order GPCS At 07:11 PM 1/21/2003 +1000, Timothy Hitchens \(HiTCHO\) wrote:

What version of PHP are you using and do you have globals turned on?

When I create and register the session in my login page - it does not carry forward to any other pages. I've found this by going through several different tutorials for making password protected areas using PHP and Sessions that I've found both online and in books - all produce the same result on the server with attitude - yet all work on all other servers I'm currently using for my hosting. So, since this is an eCommerce site for my client and they're getting increasingly impatient with the progress made I'm left with little choice in this matter - as moving the site now would be unthinkable, and tech support at the hosting company is less than stellar, and generally not in English. Are there any obvious PHP settings that I'd need to adjust to ensure that Sessions can be carried forward to additional pages? My only other option now is to force my client to login to each screen in the admin area (conceivably this could mean the client would need to log in to a minimum of 8 different pages to observe their records and make changes to the site). I'm at the point of desperation and sleep deprivation ... If there are no obvious PHP settings that need to be altered - what else could be producing this problem?
