note 54790 added to function.session-start

a quick note on sessions and ie6 losing them. this one took me months to work out.. in forefox everything worked fine between pages (in redirects and include statements) then in ie5 and 6 the session would be lost on only _one_ of my pages for no apparent reason. long story short, it turned out that this particular failing page had references to broken images with alt text of "no image". every time ie requested the image and couldnt find it it displayed the icon of a broken image and killed the session as well! firefox behaved nicely and displayed "no image" an if statement later to display text instead of a broken image and everything worked. hope this saves someone the headache it gave me.. servers affected: apache2/php4/win32, apache1/php4/linux and most likely more ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54790 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54790&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54790&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54790&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54790&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54790&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54790&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54790&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
