I was having problems with $_SESSION information not being written or being lost in a seemingly random way. There was a Location: call being made deep in a Zend OAuth module, I am using an IIS server with PHP as a CGI, etc. The answer was simply that you need to have the domain be consistent for sessions to work consistently. In my case, I was switching back and forth between www.EXAMPLE.com:888 and EXAMPLE.com:888. The unusual port, the hidden Location: call, the handoff with OAuth, etc all served to confuse me, but the intermitent error was caused by this simple goof of keeping the domain consistent. --was-- I was having problems with $_SESSION information not being written or being lost in a seemingly random way.
