Problem with session and $_POST

[pser]

Hi, I have a strange problem which occured on friday after a computer crash which I haven't found any solution to so I figure out that i'll try to post the problem here.

I've removed all php code except to get to the basic and the problem seems to be with session.

This is a example form name.php:

print "<form method=\"POST\" name=\"addcountry\" action=\"name_handle.php\">";

print "<table>";
print "<tr><td>Name</td></tr>";
print "<tr><td><input type=\"text\" name=\"country\" size=\"30\"></td></tr>";
print "<tr><td><INPUT TYPE=\"submit\" VALUE=\"Insert\"></td></tr>";

print "</table></form>";

This is the handle file:

print "navn : " . $_POST['country'];

This example works fine, but I use session to validate user and if I put session_start() at the top of the name.php file the $_POST variable is empty.

Anyone know why or how to solve it?

Well it could be a number of things I cannot tell from that code as you have removed the bits which may give some idea. Id check your php.ini configuration to check and see whats happening there as well as your logs.

Hey, it's solved now. I'm not quite sure what went wrong. But I had a crash on my computer which somehow cause problem for the webserver (apache). So what we did is to rename folder on webserver and rename it back to original name, then everything works fine. It's quite strange problem which I have never experienced before.
