RE: [PHP-QA] Re: Bug #17106 Updated: Session variable disappears

I've looked at this, I don't follow, I have similar pages, ok, no high traffic, but, no one has ever had a problem. The only time I ever had problems was when I did a DB test to verify something in the form and used a header() to send them to somewhere else, if I used javascript or included the file I wanted... All was well. Certainly here a good example would be nice.. > -----Original Message----- > From: Derick Rethans [mailto:d.rethans@jdimedia.nl] > Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 7:28 AM > To: chris@dvdplaza.com.au > Cc: PHP Quality Assurance Team Mailing List > Subject: [PHP-QA] Re: Bug #17106 Updated: Session variable disappears > > > On 14 May 2002 chris@dvdplaza.com.au wrote: > > > ID: 17106 > > Updated by: chris@dvdplaza.com.au > > Reported By: Lee.Seldon@infotech.monash.edu.au > > Status: Open > > Bug Type: Session related > > Operating System: Win98, Win2000 Pro > > PHP Version: 4.1.2 > > New Comment: > > > > For f#cks sake, we STILL have this damn problem under 4.2.1 > as well. > > This is really starting to p#ss me off - we generate a HUGE > amount of > > traffic, one of the top ten movie related sites in this country, and > > this session problem is causing viewers to constantly > reload pages so > > that their bloody cookie logs them in - thus our bandwidth > is shooting > > through the bloody roof (read $$$$$$$$$ down the toilet)... > > Erm, we are volunteers.
