Session Problems: WIN2K SERVER, IIS 5.0, PHP 4.3

gratiot

Issue: I have installed PHP 4.3 on a WIN2K Server machine with IIS 5.0. Normal PHP coding works fine, however, when I try to do seesions, I have the following scenario:

CODE START:

<?php

// initialize a session
session_start();

// register a session variable
session_register('counter');

// increment and display the value of the counter
$SESSION['counter']++;
echo("You have visited this page ".$SESSION['counter']." times! Don't you have anything
else to do, you bum?!");

CODE END:

I have tried it with register_globals On and Off and I still get the following result, no matter how many times I refresh.

[
You have visited this page 1 times! Don't you have anything else to do, you bum?!
]

It does create a session with the correct variable information in it, however, it creates a new session file every time I refresh.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

My problem did not stem from mis configuration but that the server that host my domain name and the server that hosts my actual web files are seperate. Therefore the servers don't like transferring the variables. The resolutions to this issue is to insert this line of code at the begining of each file you need to access session variables, or have it in an include file that all pages include.

header('P3P: CP="NOI ADM DEV PSAi COM NAV OUR OTRo STP IND DEM"');
