Re: RE: Session Problems

Well, I'm not so sure about this. My site uses heavily the POST method (almost every page is a form) and the error appears quite randomly. Sometimes the system loose the session_id (it is passed via the url using the --enable-trans-sid option), but I don't think that PHP creates a new session for each POST form. I cannot find out the exact condition to trace the error. As soon as I do I will post a message here, or, maybe, a bug report. If you want to spend some time, you can check my site http://www.colombo2000.dyndns.org (or www.colombo2000.it but it's in a frame, so you cannot see the SID). You will see that it works only with post forms. Maybe you can find those exact conditions I were talking about few lines above.

This is a problem I had while using php4.0.1 (statically linked in Apache 1.3.12) with mod_ssl. I already posted that I solved the problem upgrading to php4.0.1pl2 but somebody answered me that he still had the problem, even with pl2.
