note 44433 added to function.session-start

I noticed something different, may help to someone struggling with session variables losts: sending an absolute location "http://..." to the header always caused loss of $_SESSION declarations unless... I used "Location: /destination" string without "http:". Giving "http:" even cleared the $_SESSION varsiable after jscript redirection(!). so instead of: <? session_start(); $_SESSION["START_POINT"] = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']. dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])."/".$relative_url); ?> simply as this works: <? session_start(); $_SESSION["START_POINT"] = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; header("Location: /".$relative_url); ?> have a fun! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44433 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44433&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44433&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
