$HTTP_SESSION_VARS and _SESSION variables not being passed or recognized!

Kenneth_Wright

I am having trouble with the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and _SESSION variables not being passed or recognized!

I am running Apache.1. 3.27 on WIN 32 (Windows 2000 sp2) and PHP 4.3.1 with the Zend Optimizer and using MySQL 4.0.12 as my database
I can see phpinfo() no problem
Have set session.use_trans_sid to ON ; session.name to PHPSESSID ; session.auto_start to ON; register_globals to ON;
Cookies are enabled on system
Apache is serving up web pages on htdocs no problems
MySql is working perfectly.
I am developing on Dreamweaver MX with no problems
Full length SID’s are sent OK to the correct temp directory when a browser session is started.
Test code (starting at the very top of the file) I am running is as follows …. I can see $myvar OK, but no SESSION variables :

<?php session_register("myvar");
$myvar = "15";
echo "\$SESSION['PHPSESSID'] : $SESSION['PHPSESSID'] ";
echo "\$SESSION['SID'] : $SESSION['SID'] ";
echo "\$SERVER['PHP_SELF'] : $SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ";
echo "\$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] : $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'] ";
echo "\$myvar : $myvar ";
phpinfo(); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Sessions</title>
<body>

</body>
</html>

This SESSION variable thing is the only problem I am having. I must be missing something very subtle! Any help is greatly appreciated

Check your session.save_path in your php.ini if the sesions are saved there

Thanks, but the sessions are being allocated, and they are going to the temp file as specified in the php.ini file and I can see them there. The sessions can be seen in the $HTTP_GET_VARS variable as well. I just cannot get then to be seen by the php SESSION vars.

So no solution yet!

Thanks
