Been up for four f**********g hours too late trying to find something wrong with my code, lately finding out, that there apparently is nothing wrong with it (in this particular case). I wish for verification. As a developement box I run a W2K, newest Apache and PHP 4.0.whatnot. Had this problem of first page loaded not getting a SID. It required reloading once, before sessions started working for itself. Impossible to accept, since login (through a different file) is possible straight from this page. Header("location: referer etc") sending me back to the unsessioned page. No amount of forceful SID entries helped. Got very annoyed and pulled one of those sure-to-work "hello world" programs: <? session_start(); session_register("SESSION"); if (! isset($SESSION)) { $SESSION["count"] = 0; echo "<li>Counter initialized, please reload this page to see it increment"; } else { echo "<li>Waking up session $PHPSESSID"; $SESSION["count"]++; } echo "<li>The counter is now $SESSION[count] "; ?> Guess what, it did not work either. Except that it did, uploaded to the providers server (basic unix stuff. More or less the same version on PHP), as did my own script. Now why is that? Does someone know a explanation/remedy for this, since it makes developing slightly inconsistent with this requiring that gimmick and that not.
