$_SESSION doesn't on Windows?

[mnatz]

Hi to all

I had to find out, that any added values to $_SESSION are not stored into the session on Windows2000 (Apache/PHP 4.1.2 as module).

Do I have a missconfiguration or is it Windows? It works on Linux!

register_globals are turned off in php.ini and the manual recommand to use $_SESSION directly.

Thanx for any help.

"doesn't work" means you get an error like "undifined variable"?

[mnatz]

if I start the session with session_start() the variable $_SESSION exists. but any added values to the array are lost on the next page.

this code, from the php manual doesn't work:

<?
session_start();
if (!isset($SESSION['counter'])) {
$SESSION['counter'] = 0;
}
else {
$_SESSION['counter']++;
}
?>

the first part of the if-clause is never TRUE.

Thanx for your answer anyway.

Please Help!

I'm having the same problem using NT4, IIS and PHP 4
The files that the session variables are stored in are always empty, so they do not show up on the next page.
Is this a configuration problem?

Thank you for any help,

It's a bug in php 4.1.2!

I tried to go back to an older version (4.1.0) but I forgot to copy also the php4ts.dll of the old version and so it didn't work.

Now I'm running PHP 4.1.0 again (now both, php4ts.dll & sapi/php4apache.dll :-) and it works.

I've got the same problem as you concerning session bug in PHP 4.1.2 on windows system.

I'd like to ask you if, in spite of running PHP 4.1.0 again, you have found an other solution until now ?!

Do you have more informations about this bug, or do you now at present, where we could find it ?!

Thanks
