Where is my mind ?

[Matthias Ainsworth]

Hi,

Strange things happening on my server (a little XP machine...) !
Session files (sess_xxxxx...) are created well but they remain empty...
always ! My session variables never get stored !

I'm stuck.
Any tip appreciated...

Matt

Sample code please? Can't debug problems with seeing code.

Hi Ken,

A sample code will not help much...
But here it is :

session_start() ;

if (!isset($_SESSI ON["count"]))
$_SESSION["count"] = 1;
else
$_SESSION["count"] ++;

echo $_SESSION["count"];

I know this one works.
Every time I call this script a new session file is created (I don't know
why previous is not reused)... and it remains pretty empty.

Everytime I refresh this page, Apache log file (access.log) reports :

127.0.0.1 - - [29/Apr/2005:17:35:36 +0200] "GET /test.php HTTP/1.1" 200
41765
127.0.0.1 - - [29/Apr/2005:17:35:37 +0200] "GET
/test.php?=PHPE9 568F35-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 HTTP/1.1" 200 4459
127.0.0.1 - - [29/Apr/2005:17:35:37 +0200] "GET
/test.php?=PHPE9 568F34-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 HTTP/1.1" 200 2974

Any idea what this is (PHPE...) ? It is not my session ID... so ?

Is it an NTFS partition? Does the user Apache runs as have permission to
write on these files?

It looks like your browser wants to send back the session information
(session ID) attached to the URL instead of as a cookie. Yet you say this
is not your session key. Perhaps a misconfiguratio n somewhere? Try to
force PHP to use cookies (this is done in the php.ini file, use cookies
only or something like that) and make sure your browser is allowed to use
cookies, and then see what happens.
