[PHP] $_SESSION NOT WORKING
Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem moving my code to a linux computer.
I won't post the whole code here, but an accurate example that
reproduces exactly the error.
// 1.php
?php
session_register('tree');
$_SESSION['tree'] = This is tree number one;
header(Location: 2.php);
?
// 2.php
?php
print_r($_SESSION, false);
?
// php.ini (incomplete)
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = /tmp/php/sessions/ o ;C:/temp/php/sessions for Windows
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = cito
session.auto_start = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.cookie_httponly =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 100
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.bug_compat_42 = 0
session.bug_compat_warn = 0
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
session.hash_function = 0
session.hash_bits_per_character = 4
url_rewriter.tags = a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset=
The web server is Apache 2.2 with php 5.24 for both, Linux Windows.
In Linux the Apache server is run by the 'apache' user, which has
reading, writing and execution grants on /tmp/php/sessions/
The output for 2.php is:
Array ( [tree] = This is tree number one )
is what I get on Windows, but on Linux I get:
Notice: Undefined variable: _SESSION in /var/www/html/2.php on
line 2
I don't know what the error is, but something evident is that on Linux
session.auto_start = 1 is NOT working properly.
On Windows it is not necessary to explicitly start the session to use
the $_SESSION, so no need to session_start().
If on Linux I add session_start() at the top of each script, the script
executes well.
I want to know why session.auto_start does not work on Linux.
If you require the whole php.ini, I'll send it gladly

Re: [PHP] $_SESSION NOT WORKING
Yes, that way it works. Thanx. But the Windows version of the same code and the same php.ini ***does not *** need the session_start() because it has the session.auto_start = 1 inside php.ini. The thing is, I think session.auto_start = 1 does not work on Linux. Is this a bug?

[PHP] Re: $_SESSION NOT WORKING --SOLVED
After an all-evening debugging I found out what the problem is. Why? Please don't ask. I have no idea. The problem was php's extension php-colorer How I got to the problem. Eliminating every extension until I got the *bad* one. Thank you: Daniel, Thiago, Jens, Verny Dmitri for your concern.
