PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  preserve state from http to https for session variables

Description:
------------
PLEASE NOTE: This report is not associated with PHP Engine version 4.3.7
(I had to select it to by-pass your HTML form setup and as I couldn't
figure out my problem from the bug reports search)

------ Server side info ------
PHP Engine Version 4.2.2
Operating System: Linux Debian 2.4.20-2.11
------------------------------

I am not sure whether the following is a bug associated with PHP Engine
4.2.2 or with the Operating System or with the client side browser.

The Session variable (multi-dimensional array) that i use for shopping
cart doesn't preserves state while doing a transition from HTTP to HTTPS
connection. Or in other words, while transferring from shopping-cart page
to a secure checkout page. Seems like it loses its content.

Interesting enough on the client side, this seems to work perfectly fine
with my browser on MS-IE 6.0.28 (with all security updates up-to-date) on
Windows XP platform and also on Mozilla 1.6 on the same platform.

The same tested on a friend's machine running MS-IE 6.0.26 (i believe not
up-to-date with security updates) on Win XP as well as Netscape Gecko
browser (version not known) doesn't seem to preserve the session variable
(shopping cart) while moving from HTTP to HTTPS connection.

I am stuck here. Unable to figure out whether it could be a problem
associated with earlier Microsoft security updates or with the older PHP
Engine/LINUX Debian OS on the Server side?

Your earliest attention is much appreciated.

Let me know if I should request the Server Admin to upgrade the PHP Engine
Version?
