I'm going to stop reading here. :-) We know that somehow, some way, PHP is not using trans_sid, because your URL isn't showing the session ID. I dunno why, or what's in the php.ini that's not working, but don't try to go beyond this step with XML, or anything else that complicates life. The question now is why your php.ini changes are not taking effect. The usual reason is you edited *A* php.ini file, but not the one Apache is reading. Does <?php phpinfo();?> show the same /path/to/php.ini as the one you edit? Whatever path it shows, that is where your php.ini has to be. [*] Edit the one that is there, or if there isn't one there, move the one you edited to *BE* there, or copy php.ini.dist from your PHP source (or Google for it) and use that. It's also remotely possible that apachectl incorrectly reported successful stop/start when, in fact, the old httpd is still running. This is rare, but I've had it happen to me. To be 100% certain, use 'stop' to stop Apache and then do: ps auxwwww | grep httpd You should see only the "grep httpd" output, or no output at all. If you see a bunch of httpd process running, you didn't stop Apache. Find a way to stop Apache. Either use some other script to stop it (like whatever is in your /etc/rc.d/* files) or some other version of apachectl that works better with your httpd or... Hell, kill -9 it, I guess... Then start Apache, and triple check <?php phpinfo();?> shows the php.ini file being read from the same directory you edited php.ini [*] I'm told that in Apache 2, there is a phpIniDir directive you can set in httpd.conf to tell PHP where to find php.ini instead of being forced to re-compile or (easier) move your php.ini where your PHP Module binary expects it. While that may be true, I'm sticking with an answer that fits all situations. Let him fight with phpIniDir some other day. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
