I am using Apache 1.3.12 and apache module php4.

Using index.php that registeres a session variable and test.php that displays this variable, the session file does not contain the value of the variable, only the variable name.

[sess_15e149f29b26e2995c2474bbd083589e]:
!my_session_variable|


[index.php]:
<?php

session_start();
$my_session_variable =  "some value";
session_register( "my_session_variable");
echo "my session variable '" . $my_session_variable . "'";
?>
<a href="test.php">test</A>

[test.php]:
<?
session_start();

echo "my session variable '" . $my_session_variable . "'";

phpinfo();

?>
