Re: [PHP-WIN] need help with sessions

[Luis Ferro]

One of the things that can be happening is that the server is sending 
the "location:" before the session data in the header... and when the 
browser gets it, simply forgots the session data.

I'm not sure of in which version of PHP there was a problem like the one 
i'm describing, but i remember very well that i've made a Javascript 
redirector to place in the end of the page (after the session 
manipulation) to force the current page to go to the browser whole and 
then in the browser be redirected to the new page where the session was 
needed...

Hope to have been usefull (and perceptible, from my english ;) )

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
