Hello to all,
I'm working on a server where even a simple counter-script won't work.
session_start();
if (isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter'])) {
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter']++;
} else {
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter']=1;
}
On every refresh the counter is set to 1.
I take it this is not inside a function? have you tried using var_dump()
to output $HTTP_SESSION_VARS?
you may be stuck with doing things the old session_register() way rather than
using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS (or preferably $_SESSION - if you had a version of php at
your disposal that had that.)
I dont' know, where to search for the reasons.
The server is a normal service providers server. My customers site is
using sessions and they are working on his site.
I would suggest that you go thru his code line by line to figure out
how it works.
also check out this page:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php
given that you want your own session on a specific subpath you will have to
do some more owkr than just start the session.
My script lays in a subdirectory of my costumers site, protected with a
.htaccess.:
The PHP-Version is 4.0.6.
which idiot is setting 4.0.6 as a requirement - its old, has lots of bugs that
have been fixed in more recent versions and is full _known_ security issues
(which have also been fixed) ... upgrade is the sane thing to do.
if there is one other person on this list using 4.0.6 you'll be lucky. all
this means that your going to have a hard time getting things done - bottom line
this costs your customer more (you are passing on the cost right?)
The values for the session-parameters are, as far as I see, standard:
session.save_handler: files
session.save_path: /tmp
Register-globals is set to on.
Has anybody an idea where the problem lays?
Is it possible that I don' have the right to write into the /tmp-directory?
possible but unlikely, given that the main site works. try writing a file to /tmp.
It would be very nice of you to give me some tips. I don't want to ask
my customer silly questions.
your customer is requiring 4.0.6 - nothing you can ask could be sillier than that ;-)
(other than maybe asking to downgrade to php3)
Thanks in advance
Sabine
