Hi,
Since my web host upgrade the php version from 4.0.6 to 4.2.3 it's a real nightmare.
I upgrade my local machine with php 4.2.3, fixed several things (...) and finally everything works properly.
But i got a problem concerning session only with my web host (on the local machine it's ok) ....
In fact after searching and make lots of correction i've found that the simplest thing such as :
"page1.php"
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 1;
echo "<a href=\"page2.php?PHPSESSID=".$PHPSESSID."\">Go to page 2</a>";
"page2.php"
session_start();
if (!empty($SESSION['test'])) {
echo 'it worked!';
print_r($SESSION);
} else {
echo 'it did not work 🙁';
doesn't work every time !!!! 😕
after making many back/retry :
Sometimes i've got a blank screen on page2 with the HTML code :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
And sometime i've got the message " it did not work " , and sometimes it works fine (the most of time i admit)....
And sometime even the page1.php does not appear at all !!! and i've got again the html code :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
I am very puzzled with this because i've spent lots of time trying to fix my code believing something went wrong but now i think maybe it's just impossible to work ?!
Does this problem mean something to you ?
PLEASE HELP me because i am so confuse with this !!
