session variables not stored

Anon

Hi all,
Win2k PRO + IIS5 + php4.06 cgi

The following script
create the file but
the session variable aren't stored.

<?
session_start();
session_register("foo");
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["foo"] = "ciao";
header("Location:prova2.php");
?>

<?
session_start();
var_dump(session_is_registered("foo"));
var_dump($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
?>

output:
bool(false) array(0) { }

on the hosting server it's works good.
Any Idea?

[Session]
session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = C:\tmp
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 1
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry"

here is your problem:

session_start();
session_register("foo");
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["foo"] = "ciao";
header("Location:prova2.php");

You should not put the var in $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[]. Instead, declare a var:

session_start();
session_register("foo");
$foo = "ciao";
header("Location:prova2.php");

First of all, thanks.
Now, I have setted register_globals to Off
so your solution isn't applicable.
Otherwise, I tried to set register_globals to On and check your script but it has the same result: It doesn't work 🙁

The particularity is that the same script
works on hosting server (lin + apache + php as cgi) but it doesn't works on my develop machine (win2k + iss5 + php as cgi).

register_globals has nothing to do with session_register(), read the manual about it.

Try putting "error_reporting(E_ALL)" at the top of your script.

"register_globals has nothing to do with session_register(), read the manual about it. "

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php

If track_vars is enabled and register_globals is disabled, only members of the global associative array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS can be registered as session variables. The restored session variables will only be available in the array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS.

there is something that I misinterpret?

"Try putting "error_reporting(E_ALL)" at the top of your script."

error_reporting = E_ALL
