Hi
I'm having a problem with session variables on IIS6 and Win2003.
I can't get session variables to be carried from one page to another. This is the simple example that doesn't work:
file:session1.php
<?php
session_start();
$SESSION["test"]="Working";
echo $SESSION["test"];
?>
Which returns: Working
Then
file:session2.php
<?php
session_start();
echo $_SESSION["test"];
?>
Which returns: Warning: Undefined index: test in C:\TGO\session2.php on line 3
I tried with the original folder that stores sessions and also changing it to a new but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

This is an exerp from the php.ini file:
[Session]
; Handler used to store/retrieve data.
session.save_handler = files
; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path
; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this
; variable in order to use PHP's session functions.
session.save_path = "C:/WINDOWS/Temp/phpsessions"
; Whether to use cookies.
session.use_cookies = 1
; Name of the session (used as cookie name).
session.name = PHPSESSID
; Initialize session on request startup.
session.auto_start = 1
; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted.
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
; The path for which the cookie is valid.
session.cookie_path = /
; The domain for which the cookie is valid.
session.cookie_domain =
; Handler used to serialize data. php is the standard serializer of PHP.
session.serialize_handler = php
; Percentual probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started
; on every session initialization.
session.gc_probability = 1
; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
; Check HTTP Referer to invalidate externally stored URLs containing ids.
session.referer_check =
; How many bytes to read from the file.
session.entropy_length = 0
; Specified here to create the session id.
session.entropy_file =
;session.entropy_length = 16
;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom
; Set to {nocache,private,public} to determine HTTP caching aspects.
session.cache_limiter = nocache
; Document expires after n minutes.
session.cache_expire = 180
; use transient sid support if enabled by compiling with --enable-trans-sid.
session.use_trans_sid = 1
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry"
