Operating system: Windows 2000 Professional
PHP version: 4.1.0
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: Session variable disappears under Windows 2000
I have 2 scripts: providerlogin.php sets session variable $userSN
displayprovider.php tests $userSN and displays
info depending on result
Both scripts work as expected under
Win98, Apache 1.13.22, php 4.1.0
WinNT, Apache 1.13.22, php 4.1.0
WinNT, IIS, php 4.1.0
but under Windows 2000 Professional, Apache 1.13.22, php 4.1.0 $userSN has
disappeared when I run displayprovider.php or even if I return to
providerlogin.php.
providerlogin.php
...
session_start(); // starting session
// session variables must be global
global $userSN;
// registering session variables
session_register("userSN");
// test if user is loged-in
?>
<html>
<head>
............
$result = odbc_exec($conn, $query);
if(odbc_fetch_row($result, 1)) {
$realUserSN = odbc_result($result, 1);
$providerName = odbc_result($result, 2);
$userName = odbc_result($result, 3);
$realPassword = odbc_result($result, 4);
$refereeStat = odbc_result($result, 5);
$userSN = $realUserSN;
odbc_free_result($result);
odbc_close($conn);
if (isset($userSN)) {
printf("<FONT size=5><b>Welcome to Provider
Login</b></FONT><br>");
printf("<FONT size=3>%s</FONT><br>\n", $providerName);
printf("<b><i>You are logged on from :</i></b> %s <br><br>\n",
$REMOTE_ADDR);
}
else printf("<FONT size=5><b>ERROR setting session
cookie</b></FONT><br>");
printf("</body></html>");
exit;
}
else { //didn't find the given password
$notFound = true;
}
displayprovider.php
........
// If user is logged in, may send messages to this provider
if (isset($userSN)) {
// User may update provider if OnLine and myCookie corresponds to the
displayed provider or is admin login 555fff
if (($OnLine == true) && ($userSN == $providersn)) {
printf("<h3><A HREF=\"../update/update.php?providerSN=%s\">Update
Details</h3></A><br>\n", $providersn);
}
} //End of myCookie is set, thus user is logged in
else { // if myCookie is not set, print message about logging in
echo "<H3>- To send messages to this provider, you must have logged
in.</H3><BR>";
}
