note 34871 added to function.session-start

Using PHP4.3.2 ISAPI /IIS5.1/WinXP Pro, I have a problem I've tried to fix for 2 weeks. I use some code like this: Page 1: <?php session_start(); session_register("fabien"); $fabien = "goofy"; header("location: page2.php"); ?> Page2: <?php session_start(); echo "value: " . $fabien; ?> and it doesn't work. If I upload the code to my Linux/Apache server, it works fine. Every time I hit Page 2 from IE 6, it creates a new session file on the server!?!! Each session file contains the variable and its value. I have reviewed the PHP.INI numerous times and I can't see anything that could be wrong. Cookies are enabled on client, etc. I don't know what to do... Anyone? Thanks in advance.
