Hi All,
I'm having a problem with session variables under PHP 4.0.6 on a secure
server. I ran phpinfo and have attached the resulting page after the main
body of this message.
My test code looks like this
Filename: index.php
Page Start --------------
<?php
session_start();
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['variable']="the variables value";
?>
<a href="index2.php">click here</a> to go to the next page
Page End ------
Next file
Filename: index2.php
Page Start --------------
<?php
session_start();
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
echo "-->".$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['variable']."<--";
?>
Page End ------
Suffice to say it doesn't work. The first page displays
"click here to go to the next page"
as expected. However clicking on the link takes you to index2.php and the
following is displayed:
"Array ( ) --><--"
Namely that the session variable called "variable" is not set in the
session.
I have run the exact same code on a machine running PHP 4.2.3 (non secure
servers) and it works perfectly! And outputs:
"Array ( [variable] => the variables value ) -->the variables value<--"
Exactly as required!!
I hope that you can help, since I am getting frustrated after 4 days trying
to fix this problem.
Henry
