note 50070 added to ref.session

This is a note for someone who posted this: I'm having toubles using sessions on my local (XP)machine. I'm using a loginscript that works fine on line but it won't work at home... Right, I read on the session_start() section of the manual, from the user's notes, that this problem happens in Windows because it doesn't keep the session id and opens a new one every time you call session_start(). I've been where you are too. Annoying, uh? Well, as a solution it gives you a few options: 1. You can always set the same id, which is a bit of a cheeky solution, but it works ( session_start('123456');) 2. You can pass the session_id from the first time you start a session through the URL or as a hidden item in a form and then recover it with HTTP_GET_VARS or HTTP_POST_VARS, respectively. 3. There is another one I don't remember very well but is about changing the header options. For this one you may go to the session_start() section to the user's notes. Well, hope this can help Good luck with your thing!! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+50070 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50070&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50070&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50070&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50070&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+50070&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+50070&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
