The biggest gotcha that I have ran into concerning sessions is this: If your client's browser is I.E. and the domain is named with _(underscores), -(dashes), etc. I.E. discards the session and starts a new one. I don't know if this is fixed under SP2. Example: a domain name http://my-domain.com will cause I.E. to lose sessions; however, there is a way around this if your are developing this for an internal website, you can simply add a host file record to utilize the actual IP. Example: http://my-domain.com 225.225.225.1 If your client's browser is not I.E. then make sure all of your php.ini variables are as they need to be regarding sessions. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Baldwin [mailto:rich@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 3:46 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SPAM 6.0] Session help!? Hey, I have a site where I am using session_start() at the beginning of each page. The session id is passed transparently from the first page but after that it dissapears from the links and I lose all my session variables. Is there something elementary I'm missing? This is my first stab at PHP so I could be overlooking something really obvious or not really understanding how its supposed to work. The trans_id thingy is enabled by the way.
