I'm stumped... My app, which worked perfectly well on one server, isn't working on my new server. Session settings for PHP are exactly the same. Basically, sessions are being persisted via automatic URL modification to append the SID, and since I'm using frames, different frames are getting different SIDs!
php.ini has 'enable_trans_sid' set on both servers, but other servers have always used session cookies with no problem. This isn't a browser problem, and I've tried using MySQL for session storage instead of the FS in case the hosting provider had mucked up permissions on the tmp directory that PHP was using for sessions (I needed to do this anyway, for security).
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing PHP to append the SID and not use session cookies?
Here's phpinfo output:
Session Support enabled

session.serialize_handler php php
session.use_cookies On On

session.use_trans_sid On On
PHP version is 4.3.3.
Question is, can I do anything about it in code, or am I going to need to contact my hosting provider?
Cheers,
Mick
