client cant save session data???

[xnor82]

hi,
i have a server apache 1.3 and php 4.2.3 installed. i start session on my page. on server there is no problem for session vars. but on clients there is no session data (vars or cookies) stored.

i changed session.save handler handler parameter files to user in php.ini but it started to view that error "Fatal error: Failed to initialize session module in c:\web\main_files\main.php on line 6
"
what can i do else? plz help as soon as you can ...

i dont get what you mean by "on the client there is no session data stored": that's the point of a session, is it's on the server. If you want to store something on the client then you need a cookie.

client can't under stand a session started. so i cant user a session var in other pages. session put a file (with name of session id) on server. how can use session vars when this file on server? i think i don't know something about sessions...

codes:

in the x.php

session_start();
$ses_id=session_id();
$ses_user=$log_name;

session_register("ses_id");
session_register("ses_user");

in y.php

session_start();
echo $ses_id;
echo $ses_user;

in y. php there is nothing printed on page...

you've probably got global variables off in php.ini.

try $SESSION['sess_id'] and $SESSION['sess_user']

i'm sure it's open.
how can i solve this problem? what's wrong with configuration.

[jpmoriarty]

what's open? did you try the $_SESSION['variable'] ways of doing it?

[xnor82]

in php.ini global vars parameter is on.
i tried $_session['vars']; but nothing changed.

when i write session_start(); in a page it creates a new session.

yes it's not $session['vars'] though, it's $SESSION['vars']
