are you stating the session on on the other pages with session_start()? what errors are you getting? if you check for session_is_registered ("user") on the other pages, what do you get? can you send some code along, its hard to see what the issue may be without it. dn <dn75@planet-in To: php-db@lists.php.net terkom.de> cc: Subject: session in php 4.2.3 11/12/2002 07:54 AM Hi! I have to support a PHP-Database-solution which someone else has developed. In addition I'm quite new to php ... It uses Oracle 8 to display values out of the database. Everything is running fine with php 4.1.1. Due to security reasons I wanted to update to php 4.2.3. I use the same values within both "configure"-runs: ./configure \ --with-oci8=/oracle/product/8.1.7 \ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \ --enable-sigchild \ --with-zlib-dir=shared \ --with-gd=/usr/ \ --with-png-dir=/usr/lib \ --without-mysql The php-scripts do the following when a user logs in: session_register("user","password","db"); I assume that other scripts can use this values when they query the database. A session-file is created in /tmp/. As I mentioned above everything runs fine with php 4.1.1. With php 4.2.3 the login-script is ok! When another script is called it seems like it is not able to read the "sess...."-file which exists (!) in /tmp/sess.... Could you please give me a hint what I'm doing wrong! Thanks in advance!
