Re: [PHP] Cookies disabled, new session ID each click!
Not using trans_sid, but it is set for this example and it doesn't matter either way, intentionally putting the SID on the link myself, this is the way the vendor software is set up. So, I want someone to run this example, and see if it works for them, and if it does, what might be the reason it does not work for me? Steve Chris Shiflett wrote: Steve, Check your php.ini file.

[PHP] Cookies disabled, new session ID each click!
I posted this but not sure Google works, so using my own account as it
did not show up yet.
I am fairly new to PHP, and am running a shopping cart app written in
PHP. Most people using this cart do not have this issue, but I do!
I have boiled the program down to a few lines, and it doesn't work. When
you click on the link in the code, it gives you a session ID. Then, when
you click again, it goes away. The SID appears to be blank every other time.
Why would that be? I am using PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.2, BSD and Linux, and
Apache 1.3.20 something. Two different hosts. Same result. Client is
IE5.5 with cookies disabled, running on NT. New session file is
generated even though one already existed. This happens every other
click as SID is blank every other click.
Please help me understand what the issue is.
