Hello Ross, First of all, do you have a firewall on your test server? If you do, beware that some firewalls (e.g. ZoneAlarm 4) play havoc with session data. Disable the firewall (if you can) and, presto, your sessions start working as expected. Of course then your machine will be exposed, but that's another problem... One other thing: do you realize that, under normal circumstances, each and every time a user closes all browser windows on his computer and starts up the browser again a new session is started on the server? This basically means that if one of your users for some weird reason closes his browser (or if his browser crashes, which happens all the time with IE), then starts it again and goes back to your site, a new session will have been started. Hope this helps, Erik On 7 Jun 2004 at 10:15, Ross Honniball wrote: > Sessions are driving me crazy. > > I am tracking screens a user has visited using an array within the > $_SESSION array. > > And it nearly works. > > I call session_start() before any output in each script and before trying > to access any $_SESSION data. > > The huge headache I am having is that php seems to fire up a NEW session in > certain situations (the result being that it can NOT find the previous > screens a user has visited). > > Anyone had any similar problems and found a solution? -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
