500 Internal Server Error?? Why

ddragas

Why do I get 500 Internal Server Error each time I start code with session?

here is code from book as example of session:

<?php
// Initiate the session
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Session</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
// If the tracker variable is not registered, register it now.
if(!isset($SESSION["tracker"]))
{
$tracker = 0;
session_register("tracker");
}
// Increment the tracker variable
$SESSION["tracker"]++;

 // Display basic session information up to this point
 print("<br /><br />Tracker = " . $_SESSION["tracker"] . "<br />");
 print("session_id =" . session_id() . "<br />");

?>
</body>
</html>

Take everything out, try just doing:

<?
session_start();
echo "OK!";
?>

With nothing else in the file.
Does that work?

No, I get the same error.

If you are getting the 500 internal server error, it is probably not related to your php script. if your server has phpsuexec running make sure the file is not chmod greater 666, or the folder is not 777. also if you have an apache .htaccess file that is written with errors it will give a 500 error.
