 New Comment:

You're not using PHP 5.2.5 in any place? I'd suggest upgrading first.
And then check what your session.* settings are in your php.ini file.
(or rather from the phpinfo(); output)

for me the bug creeps up in old, stable code that suddently doesn't
work any more. 

as original poster said, IE works fine, FF does not. The bug is also
not present in konqueror (kde browser)  nor epiphany (gnome browser)

As OP said, strings entered to the session object (in my case
indirectly  via some custom classes) are kept, values from database
seems kept, values from queries (GET/POST) are dropped. 

My server runs Linux (Gentoo, mostly stable)

Description:
------------
I have EXACTLY the same files on 2 different Apache (Solaris) servers
and an IIS server.

The example works correctly with IE5.5, 6 and 7 and Opera 9 clients but
with Firefox (2.0.0.12 or 2.0.0.11) or Mozilla (1.7.10) clients. Yes,
cookies are on in the clients and I have tried restarting the clients
and tried several client machines.

Please feel free to try the examples...
PHP 4.3.10 on Apache
http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~mk05/session/index.php
PHP5.0.5 on Apache
http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~mk05/session/index.php
PHP5.2.3 on IIS
http://cms-stu-iis.gre.ac.uk/mk05/session/index.php

When you reach activate.php $_SESSION has remembered literals but has
forgotten variable values.

I am at a loss to explain why it refuses to work in Moz clients.
I am am even more confused at to why commenting out the line
<link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
in register.php fixes the problem.

I am not at all clear as to whether the problem lies with Mozilla or
PHP. The fact that it affects such a range of versions of both PHP and
Mozilla is also mystifying. I cannot imaging what possible mechanism
could cause this effect.



Reproduce code:
---------------
http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~mk05/session/index.php.txt
http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~mk05/session/register.php.txt
http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~mk05/session/activate.php.txt
These are links not copies so you see exactly the same source.

Expected result:
----------------
3 stage process
index.php -> register.php -> activate.php
(you don't need to fill in the forms, just press the buttons)

form input from index.php is posted to register.php

in register.php the POST data is copied into $_SESSION together with a
string literal

in activate.php the session values are printed



Actual result:
--------------
in activate.php the session has lost the values of the variables but
not the value of the literal - only with Mozilla/Firefox browsers
