As I posted last week, I seem unable to have sessions persist. I have ruled out https as a problem, the following simple script, installed as xxx.php will generate a new session number every time the field is filled in and "Submit" is hit. Note that I am not using cookies, the relevant session variables are:

  Session Support              enabled
  session.auto_start           On
  session.use_cookies          Off
  session.use_trans_sid        On

When run, the session file appears to contain stage=1 but never is

read. I suspect I'm missing something obvious, any pointers?

I copy and pasted your code, and didn't get the results you described above. Basically, it all worked fine on my box (and now I have to go put my ini settings back to my normal values ;) Is this a *nix or Windows machine? Is your session directory writable by the webserver user?

FreeBSD 4.8 Unix. Yes, the session directory is writable and the files are getting properly written to that directory - the problem is that they are never being read (so each time I click Submit, I get a new session ID). /\/\ \/\/

I had a similar problem a while ago and it turned out to be the browsers fault. The browser I used didn't send anything. But from the earlier discussions this doesn't seem to be the problem but I thought it was worth mentioning anyway. echo $_COOKIE["PHPSESSID"]; // First of all to see if any cookie has been sent. /Thomas -- ===================================== Thomas Björk CTO UNINET
