Gentlefolk,
I'm having trouble getting session functionality.� Win2K SP4, IIS 5.?, PHP
v4.3.5, MySQL v3.23.49 . . . does that cover the basics?
My PHP.INI file appears to be properly configured for session usage - at least,
it is set according to what document specs I've been able to find.� I first
encountered this a few weeks ago while working on a database app.� In that
case, I finally gave up and reworked the app so that entire pages became
functions that I could call from the index page - even include files could not
access session variables {sigh /}.� However, now I need to implement a chat app
- we've selected PHPOpenChat, v3.0.1 - that makes use of sessions, and I cannot
find a way to make session data available.� Whenever I try to load a page that
has session declarations, IE (v6.0.2800.1106) provides, "CGI Timeout.� The
specified CGI Application exceeded the allowed time for processing.� The server
has deleted the process," and Firefox (v1.0.1) does the same.
In trying to find a way for this to work, I've tried every way listed in the
PHP manual�of establishing a session and setting/calling session variables.� In
the simplest incarnation, the calling page is simply
<?
��� session_start();
��� $_SESSION["testvar"]="eureka";
. . code to create a form with a submit button to call next page . . .
?>
and the called page is even simpler,
<?
��� session_start();
��� $a=$_SESSION["testvar"];
��� echo "a=$a<br />";
?>
I've tried those two pages with every syntactical variant I've been able to
find, but can't make any of 'em work.� Ok, that, to me, implies that there's
something wrong with my PHP.INI file in regard to sessions, but I cannot for
the life of me determine what.� I've looked at that file so long now that I
probably couldn't see an error if it were in the Cyrillic alphabet {sigh /}.
So, does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?� Or should I just shoot
myself and be done with it?
'Preciate any help forthcoming.
Make a good day . . .
