I have started a session in a file in one folder however when that page calls another file in another folder then the session variable does not carry.... I am using the session_start() statement in every page in the 
other folder ..... 

It works fine with all the files in the same folder that the session was started in, but when it comes to the files in any other folder it does not work...... 

I am using php4 with Apache on win95 downloaded from php4win.de

If anyone knows about this problem or knows where I can get an answer to it please contact me at neville_lewis@yahoo.com

I want to write one login script for my site and keep it in one folder and call that in all the pages in various folders.....

Thanks 

Neville Lewis.

Please upgrade. The default is path=/.

This is not a bug. You need to set your session.cookie_path (in php.ini) to / :
session.cookie_path = /
