Session Problem (..)

mortadelle

Here is my problem :

I've build 3 pages in which i try to test that session are being passed to pages :

The point is that it works fine the first time, but i'm on page 2 and i check the page it fails ... I dont understand why ????!!!

page 0:

session_start();
if (!empty($_SESSION)) 
{
    session_destroy();
}

page1

session_start();
//$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['test'] = 1; 
// i've test $_SESSION['test'] = 1; too but it seems to work worst
$test=1;
session_register('test');
echo "<!--";
    print_r($_SESSION);
    echo "<br><br>";
    print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
echo "-->";

Page 2

session_start();
//if (!empty($_SESSION['test'])) 
if (!empty($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['test'])) 
{
    echo 'it worked!';
    print_r($_SESSION);
    echo "<br><br>";
    print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);

} else {
    echo 'it did not work :(';

echo "<!--";
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "<br><br>";
print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
echo "-->";
}

<a href="page2.php?PHPSESSID=<?=$PHPSESSID?>">page 2 again</a>

I use php 4.2.3 and :

register_globals ON

session.auto_start ON
session.cache_expire 180
session.cache_limiter nocache

session.cookie_lifetime 0
session.cookie_secure Off
session.gc_maxlifetime 1440

session.gc_probability 1
session.referer_check no value
session.use_cookies On
session.use_trans_sid 0

Have you considered using cookies instead of a URL session ID?
