Re: Session and Cookie error on Windows+Apache

This sounds weired but try to have a look at your IE settings. If cookies don't work on your IE (on the client machine, not the server of course), your sessions won't either (unless you use session.use_trans_sid) : sessions use cookies to keep their Id, if PHP doesn't find an ID (a cookie), he will create a new session. That's why each time you load your page a new session file is created. Try to use session.use_trans_sid and i'm sure it will work (!!! : using trans_sid lowers your security level, if someone does a ctrlC ctrlV on the url and sends it to a friend, the friend will receive the URL with the session ID in it. This means that those two persons will share the same session). Hope this will help ;-) Romain "Kapten Nemo" <nemo@i2community.com> a écrit dans le message de news: 6.1.0.6.2.20040505084312.01b19950@pop.i2.co.id... > I've set variables for session.save_path = c:/php4/tmp in the php.ini, > when starting request from the browser to the server (Win+Apache+PHP) > for example http://localhost/test/test_session.php > the temporary sessions files are created, and stored session information. > When second request arrived to the server > its start creating another session instead of getting the first request of > session information. > > This problem are the same for cookies as well. > > Without changing any php code and php.ini files, the session and cookie > running well. > > Regards > > At 08:10 PM 5/4/2004, you wrote: > >In my (limited)experience, session variables won't work with Apache on > >windows until you set the session.save_path variable in the php.ini > >file to a directory for the temporary session files to go in.
