I was surfing the web to find an answer, and I noticed that there are couple of other people who have the same problem. But alas, there were no answers posted to this problem. So someone, please help me if you know why this is happening.

Did you set the save_handler for how sessions are stored right and the corresponding save_path (if using session.save_handler = file)? Also notice that the save_path should be made writable to php/apache. Between $_SESSION["var"] and $_SESSION['var'] should be no difference (except the obvious difference between the " and the ' themselves). I can't reproduce the problem on none of my systems (win9x, win2k, winxp, and some linux machines). -- Dennis Sterzenbach www.darknoise.de -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
