If you just removed all things from the url, even the session id then it's not strange that php created a new session. Sessions works this way. If session_start() can't find a session id then start a new session, otherwise it reopens the old one, and creates the variables that's been stored previuosly. > When I click the 'try this link' instead when starting over. It > still creates a new session ID on the server. It's really strange, and does the same for me on you server for the first page loading. When I reload the page again (with the old session id, not the newly created) the variables are read properly from the session (var1, var2), and are shown on the page. Somehow it doesn't work on the first page load, but works later. Sorry I can't think of any other thing, but please let me know if something works, or changes.

Or what, disable cookie support in > my php.ini? No, SID constant is especially usefull when you don't know if the user accepts cookies or not. SID will have a real value (e.g. PHPSESSID=lk123s) when you should add it to the url, and will have an empty value when you don't need to deal with it (because it's been stored in cookie).

This isn't so strange. The session id is stored in a cookie. But.. I turned off cookies (debuging can be done much easier), and played a little. I found that the session is created properly on the first page and the 2 variables are registered too. But on the second page they aren't set on the first view (that's stange!). If I reload the page (of course the same sid is in the url), the 2 variables this time are set, with their value that were given on the first page (that's why I told above they were registered, and their values are stored properly, so it's not a problem of rights, session save paths, etc..) So that's what I've found, but I have to go home now sorry. On the other hand the 2 source file you've sent me worked fine on my computer, without any problems (and warnings).

RE: [PHP] Sessions just don't work on my machine. (Trying this ag ain)
OK, do you have access to your /tmp directory? If so, close your browser, then open it and request your index page. Now sort the files in /tmp by creation time, to find the newly created session file. Look at its contents, and see if the 2 variables have values assigned to them in the file. Do this before you click submit on index. BTW, I don't think $PHPSESSID is ever defined on the first request. Instead, you can do this to see the new session ID on the first page. That will also help you find the correct session file to inspect. echo "session id is " . session_id() .

RE: [PHP] Sessions just don't work on my machine. (Trying this ag ain)
OK, now the session ID is getting passed like it should. Now for the two
missing variables. Try moving the two assignment statements ahead of the two
session_register() calls - "assign, then register". I have never seen this
make a difference, but the pros on this list say that is the way it needs to
be done.
