Re: Sessions just don't work on my machine. (Trying this ag ain)

I just tried this here below. Before trying this I changed any called to $PHPSESSID to session_id(). I turned off cookies Loaded the page... Created session id and file: sess_44074d3a54862b480c3407c9eb373f77 Contents: var1|s:8:"My var 1";var2|s:8:"My var 2"; I submitted the form: PHPsessionid shows up as: 2f633e17c6752342d0c1e7e6191b4112 New file with same name contents: var3|s:8:"My Var 3"; I removed index2.php and went back to the first file. PHP SessID shows up as 68b482365d9086068edfa3e35d8dd41d Corresponding file with contents: var1|s:8:"My var 1";var2|s:8:"My var 2"; This is different then what I previously said. But it's clear to me that each time session_start() is called, it doesn't open the existing session rather it creates a new one. When I click the 'try this link' instead when starting over. It still creates a new session ID on the server. On 9/24/2001 1:31 PM this was written: > OK, do you have access to your /tmp directory?
