First some data about my setup: PHP 4.2.3 (I bet nothing has changed till PHP 4.3.2 regarding sessions) running on Windows 2K server
My PC: Windows 98 SE Browser: IE 6.0.2600.0000 Now, the problem occurs when using sessions and header ('Location: ...'); test1.php /**********************/ <? session_save_path ('c:/winnt/temp/'); //making sure that the path is correct, I override any value set in php.ini session_start (); $_SESSION ['someVar'] = 'Hello'; session_write_close (); //saving session data and closing it header ("Location: http://hqserver/....../test2.php"); //echo '<a href="http://hqserver/....../test2.php">To test2.php</a>'; ?> test2.php /**********************/ <? session_save_path ('c:/winnt/temp/'); session_start (); var_dump ($_SESSION); ?> So, when I first open browser and go to test1.php I get redirected to test2.php and see this output: array(0) { } When I edit the link in IE linkfield from test2.php (rememeber.. there was a redirect) to test1.php and open it once again, I get: array(1) { ["someVar"]=> &string(5) "Hello" } If I comment out header in test1.php and uncomment the HTML hyperlink and go to test2.php using it, it works from the first time. Thanks for any help solving this issue. Cheers, Donny PS.
