Session vars from one page to another

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm using the following system:
Win2000 + php4.0.3pl1 + apache1.3.14.
I tried all the known methods to register a session variable my_var in the first page and to get it in the second page, but it didn't worked. Every page starts with session_start();
I've tried the following methods:
1. in php.ini, track_vars and register_globals are enabled (= On);
2. using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['my_var'];
3. the standard method, calling $my_var;
Can somebody help me? The only logical reason is that the installation of php and/or Apache went wrong...?
Are there any more changes in php.ini to do?

Make sure you pass the sessionID to the next page throgh cookies or the URL.

Re-read the manual section about sessions.

I've solved the problem:
session.save_path MUST exist !
Because if it doesn't contain a valid path, it throws a WARNING message. But, because I set NO WARNINGS, I didn't see the warning.
