Hey Folks: I am using PHP sessions in IE 5.5 and NN 6 successfully, but I am not able to retrieve the data from my registered variables in Communicator 4.7. I am passing the session ID via SID and have turned off cookies in each browser to simplify testing, although Communicator 4.7 doesn't work with cookies enabled either. Research shows that with Communicator 4.7 the session ID is being carried from one page to the next successfully; however, the registered variables are not. Outside of the page where they are set and registered, they are not registered nor set even though the session ID is carried successfully. session.save_path is set to /tmp. When I start a session in Communicator 4.7, the session file is created in /tmp but it contains no data. When using IE 5.5 or NN 6, the session file does contain the serialized data for the registered variables, and everything works as it should. So, it looks like the problem is that in Communicator 4.7, the serialized data is not being successfully written to the session file in /tmp. Has anyone dealt with this problem? If you're still with me, THANK YOU! I created a simplified test app at the following URL: http://puredev.com/session/test1.php If you would be so kind, open this URL and click on the test2.php link and you should see the following if the data was retrieved: Test Results: The session data was transferred. The code for these two test pages is as follows: TEST1.PHP <?php session_start(); session_register("test"); $test = "The session data was transferred."; echo "Click this link: <a href=\"test2.php?".SID."\">test2.php</a>"; ?> TEST2.PHP <?php session_start(); echo "Test Results: ".$test; ?> You can also view the results of phpinfo() for me server at http://puredev.com/session/phpinfo.php. Thank you in advance! -luke Luke Muszkiewicz Pure Development, LLC http://puredev.com
