When posting to a php script using sessions and pdf the HTTP_POST_VARS disappear.  If you change the variable $type to 1, which displays the variables from a text file, everything works fine.  Writing to a pdf file will show empty variables.  If the session_start() is commented out, the HTTP_POST_VARS return.

********Script 1***********
<?php
session_start();

session_register("s_CompanyId");
session_register("s_SiteId");

$s_CompanyId = 1;
$s_SiteId = 2;
?>

<html>
<head><title>s1</title></head>
<body class="svc-sch" onload="javascript: init();">

<form name="claims" method="post" action="s2.php">
   <input type="hidden" name="form_name" value="claims">
   <input type="hidden" name="site_id" value="<?php echo $s_SiteId; ?>">
   <input type="hidden" name="co_id" value="<?php echo $s_CompanyId; ?>">
   <input type="submit" name="print" value="Print">
</form>

</body>

</html>


********Script 2***********
<?php

session_start();

$my_site_id = $HTTP_POST_VARS['site_id'];
$my_co_id = $HTTP_POST_VARS['co_id'];
$fn=$HTTP_POST_VARS['form_name'];

// change to $type = 1; works
$type = 0;


$page_width = 612;                           // width of page
$page_height = 792;                          // height of page


// open document
if( $type == 0 )
        $file_name = "/tmp/claim.pdf";
else if( $type == 1 )
        $file_name = "/tmp/claim.txt";
$fp = fopen( $file_name, "w" );

//
// PDF
//
if( $type == 0 )
{
        $pdf = PDF_open( $fp );

        // begin page
        PDF_begin_page( $pdf, $page_width, $page_height ); // 8.5" x 11.0"
        $page = $page + 1;

        // add bookmark
        PDF_add_bookmark( $pdf, $page );

        // set font
        PDF_set_font( $pdf, "Courier", 10, "host" );

        PDF_show_xy( $pdf, "s_SiteId=$s_SiteId", 50, 390 );

        // end page
        PDF_end_page( $pdf );

        // close document
        PDF_close( $pdf );
}
else if( $type == 1 )
{
        fwrite( $fp, "form_name=$fn\n" );
        fwrite( $fp, "co_id=$my_co_id\n" );
        fwrite( $fp, "site_id=$my_site_id\n" );

        fwrite( $fp, "s_SiteId=$s_SiteId\n" );
}


fflush( $fp );
fclose( $fp );


// transmit file
$len = filesize( $file_name );

        header( "Content-Type: text/plain" );

Can't reproduce. Get the latest RC from here:

http://www.php.net/~andi/php-4.0.6RC3.tar.gz 

(if that doesn't work, try with RC4)

And if it still doesn't work, submit a new bug report,
with SHORT example script. Not over 15 lines..
