    Problem using $_SESSION

    Hello all,

    I wondered if anyone could offer me some guidance, I wrote this script
    using the dzsoft php editor, which links to php.exe and a internal
    server.

    Though when I run the code the session files are created, but the item
    number in the files never increase beyond (0).

    I just wondered if there was anyone options in the php.ini I could
    change, to allow this premission. Or any session option I could add to
    the code.

    Many thanks

    <?php
    error_reporting (E_ALL);
    ini_set('displa y_errors', '1');

    session_save_pa th('c:\\');
    session_start() ;
    if (!isset($_SESSI ON['item1'])) $_SESSION['item1'] = 0;
    if (!isset($_SESSI ON['item2'])) $_SESSION['item2'] = 0;

    if(isset($_GET['Item1'])){
    $_SESSION['item1']++;
    }
    if(isset($_GET['Item2'])){
    $_SESSION['item2']++;
    }
    ?>

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Test Page</title>
    </head>

    <body>

    <form>
    <input type="submit" name="Item1" value="Item 1">
    <input type="submit" name="Item2" value="Item 2">

    <p>Number of Item 1 clicks: <?php echo $_SESSION['item1']; ?></p>
    <p>Number of Item 2 clicks: <?php echo $_SESSION['item2']; ?></p>
    </form>

    </body>
    </html>

      Here, you set the session save path, but what are the rest of your session
      settings in the php.ini file? Using cookies? Rewriting? Did your URL get
      rewritten on the first submission?

      Come to think of it... and I haven't tested... the initial URL re-writing
      (necessary until it is determined whether the cookie (if used) will be
      accepted) might not occur if you have no action parameter on your form tag.
      I haven't ever coded that way and haven't tried it.

          Well, from the code you provided, I can tell you that there is no problem
          with the code. Whatever is happening is caused by some configuration issues.

          Things to check in php.ini

          session.auto_st art
          session.use_coo kies
          session.use_onl y_cookies
          session.use_tra ns_sid
          session.referer _check (this can be tough to track down but is a lot of times
          a problem)

          Aside from that, you may need to check your browser settings and see if your
          security is too high..

              Try it with session_save_pa th('C:/'); or 'C:\' or "C:\\"

                  C:\Temp or some other temporary directory would be better place.

                      As Virgil said, try

                      <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

                      instead of your plain "<form>"

                          Re: Problem using $_SESSION

                          Hello!
                          I have the following:
                          Apache/2.0.49 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.4 Server at xxx Port 80
                          from apache2-mpm-prefork debian package, the newest available

                          I've been messing with it for quite long and none of those details in
                          the prior posts matter or at least You know they matter right away,
                          when the error reporting is on. I have a friend with:
                          Apache/1.3.31 and php4 on Gentoo
                          and the scripts I have written are working there. I've been checking
                          my php.ini with his one and there were some minor differences, I set
                          those up to his values and restarted, but it still doesn't work. I
                          have no session at all. No variables are defined, not even session
                          constant PHPSESSID has a value.

                          So my question is, what security configuration in server may cause
                          this kind of behaviour?

                          P.S. It's urgent
