RE: [PHP] Session files in /tmp are zero length

Thanks, but same result... "test is" on page2, new sess_.... file, zero length... Lee At 01:29 PM 5/14/2003, James E Hicks III wrote:

reverse these two lines in your test script. register the variable first, then assign a value to it. session_register('test'); $test='foobar'; Jame Hicks -----Original Message----- From: Lee Stewart [mailto:lstewart@dsgroup.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 3:24 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Session files in /tmp are zero length Sorry, no errors mentioning php anything anywhere... No .htaccess either And I had to turn on register_globals in php.ini to get it to read the web forms the way it's coded. Since turning that on now gets data from the web form, I know it's working... And yes, cookies are enabled, but I'm not telling it to create cookies, just the session data... The more I look around, the more I can't help but wonder since it worked on 4.0.3 and now fails on 4.2.2, and even your simple example fails, it must be either something in PHP that's broken, or something in the PHP setup...

Thanks for the suggestion... Trying your simple test,

page2 comes up

with "test is". And I get another new sess_... file in

/tmp, also zero

bytes.... Lee Kirk Johnson wrote:

Sorry, I am stumped. I would start out with the simplest test

page I could

make, and see if you can get that to work: page.php <? session_start(); $test='foobar'; session_register('test'); header('Location: page2.php'); ?> page2.php <? session_start(); echo "test is $test<br>";
