[RESOLVED] Globals doesn't work (Sessions)

[jokkemokke]

I am having trouble getting sessions to work. I am using FreeBSD 6.0, Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.1.2. The following code worked in a previous installation without any modifications, but now it doesn't:

<?
$_SESSION['test'] = "Hello world!";

function hello()
{
  echo $_SESSION['test'];
}

hello();
?>

It seems like $_SESSION['test'] is not accessible from the function hello().

phpinfo() on my server gives the following output:
From my server

If I execute the code on the following server, it works fine:
From other server

Does anyone know what to do, to make it work??

start the session? I don't know if they're global if the session isn't started....

I have tried to add the line session_start(); before the first PHP line, but it doesn't make any difference, except that phpinfo(); won't output anything anymore, if I add this too.

The following just resluts in a blank output:

<?
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['test'] = "Hello world!"; 

function hello() 
{ 
  echo $_SESSION['test']; 
} 

phpinfo();
hello(); 
?>

In your PHP info pages, the variable order changes from EGPCS to GPCS. Perhaps teh Environment needs to be added, but I doubt it.

Also doesn't help they're running Apache 1.3 and you're running Apache 2.

They also have session support enabled, you don't.

How do I enable session support?

[samudasu]

Don't say "--disable-all" in the configure line.

[jokkemokke]

I didn't. I installed it with MAKE INSTALL CLEAN, so I guess it's just installed with the default settings.

Look at your PHPinfo page, it gives you the compile information.

Configure Command
./configure' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php' '--disable-all' '--enable-libxml' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-reflection' '--enable-spl' '--with-regex=php' '--disable-cli' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd6.0'

Now it works again. I removed --disable-all and inserted --enable-session, and reinstalled PHP.

Thanks a lot.
