Hi,
I am trying to set up PHP4.2.1 with apache 1.32.26 & MySql 3.23.51, but am having problems with session vars !
I have however had no problems at all with windows 98..

I have configured php & apache as per instructions & have enabled register globals, but no matter what I do I cannot seem to get session variables to be passed to other scripts!(either $_session OR session_register ) If I use the same configuration files(httpd.conf & php.ini)on windows 98 all works fine, How crazy is that !

I am using the CGI method with apache.
I also am downloading your latest bug fix version.

I am no way an expert, Am I missing something important ?, If you can suggest a solution to curing this I would be grateful..

Thanks..  Andy T
P.S. (What is the most recommendable Linux software ?)

We need at least

your php.ini settings for session
short&complete script that shows this problem.

Why Bogus ?
Also IE exploer tends to crash a lot while running apache & PHP but not sure if this is due to PHP or Apache 2.0.39!

Here are my scripts.. script.php 1 then script2.php
both are purely a test, but on my system, does'nt pass the session var.

Do you REALLY want me to past in to here my httpd.conf and php.ini ?
I will try to send this also directly to your email address yohgaki@php.net or letme know how to attach these files somewhere..
Here is the scripts (run script 1 first)

Thanks 
A. Trayford.

----------------------------------------
script1.php
-----------
<?
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['andyt'])) {
    $_SESSION['andyt'] = "Hi Tony";
} else {
    $_SESSION['andyt'] = "Hi Andy";
}

echo "<br>"; echo $_SESSION['andyt']; echo "<br>";

?>

<html>
<head>
<title>Session Test script 1</title>
</head>
<body>

If you have just run this, click here to load <A href="script2.php">script 2</a>, you should see a name passed via session var's

</body>
</html>
------------------------------------------------

script2.php
-----------
<?
session_start();

// If a session var is available, print it

echo "is there a session var? [";
  echo $_SESSION['andyt'];
echo "], we'll soon find out!<br>";

?>


<html>
<head>
<title>Session test script 2</title>
</head>

<body>

If script - test1.php was run first, you should see a name in the square brackets!


</body>
</html>

not enough information (yes we want your complete php.ini by times, as stated in the "How to report a bug" page (http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php)

and the information given is not consistent
(apache 1.32.26 in the first comment, guess that should be 3 not 32, apache 2.0.39 in the second)
