I think there's some other setting in php.ini that's causing an issue here. Henry, could you do a phpinfo() and show us the results?

[PHP] Session variable under PHP 4.0.6
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(); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['variable']=the variables value; ? a href=index2.phpclick here/a to go to the next page Page End -- Next file Filename: index2.php Page Start -- ?php session_start(); print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS); echo --gt;.$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['variable'].lt;--; ? 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.

RE: [PHP] Session variable under PHP 4.0.6
In the first file, replace this line:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['variable']=the variables value;
with these two lines:
$variable = the variables value;
session_register('variable');
This is because 'register_globals' is enabled in the php.ini file.

Hi All,
I'm having a problem with session variables under PHP 4.0.6

My test code looks like this

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--

Re: [PHP] Session variable under PHP 4.0.6
Thanks that works in my testing example. But why? The manual says:
Caution
If you are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use
session_register(), session_is_registered() and session_unregister().
But in index2.php I am using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and it works?!
Need a bit of clarification since my actual app still doesn't work!

RE: [PHP] Session variable under PHP 4.0.6
That Caution message is not the full story, read some more on
register_globals.
If register_globals is On in php.ini, then do the following:
- use session_register() to create your session variables;
- use the global variable to access the variable, not the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
array.
Example:
$myVar = 'test';
session_register('myVar');
$myVar = 'some new value';
print $myVar;
Note: the value of $myVar is what is stored to the session at the end of the
script. And, since it is stored after the script ends, its value is not
available via $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[] until the next page.
If register_globals is Off in php.ini, then do the following:
- do not use session_register(), etc.
- use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS for all accesses.
Example:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['myVar'] = 'test';
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['myVar'] = 'some new value';
print $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['myVar'];
