Sessions without cookies on Linux

[Anon]

I have an application that starts a session on the first page then passes the session identifier onto subsequent pages by adding the SID constant as a query string to hyperlinks. My setup is running XP with Apache,PHP and MySQL and this application works great.(Here's the but...) But I also have Linux dual-booting and have Apache, PHP and MySQL installed there. The same application does not work here however. Other examples that use cookies with sessions are fine but I can't seem to get the SID set with the session identifier string. If you have any suggestions I would be very grateful as I am keen to resolve this as soon as possible. Thanks.

Check your "session.*" directives in php.ini
on Linux and compare them to the settings
in php.ini on Windows!
Compare for ex. the values of "session.use_cookies"
and "session.use_trans_sid"!

Thanks Metin

I forgot that I had set the XP setup to session.auto_start=1 and had commented out calls to session_start() in the pages.

Problem Solved!

Many thanks.
