This is a problem with PHP. They changed the way the extensions are loaded. So now on FreeBSD (that's all I can speak to) you build "PHP" and "PHP-Extensions" separately.
In any case, assuming you have php configured to use sessions (ie, built that extension), the problem might be in your php.ini file. This will seem counter-intuitive, but look for "extension_dir" in your php.ini and comment it out (!). This was the suggestion from the PHP mailing list. And the reason why you might have seen the mysterious "it was working YESTERDAY and NOTHING CHANGED!" is because changes in php/php.ini won't take effect until Apache is restarted. 8) So, you have a new build of PHP from July 28th... maybe your log rotate stopped/started apache or it was restarted by an admin. In any case, first check your php.ini, next ensure that the session (and whatever php extensions you want) have been built, and lastly... drop the list an e-mail if that still doesn't fix it. Hope that helps. <8) L8r.
