php.ini / session variables

L3zL1E · #1 06-01-2007, 12:03 PM

I am working with session variables and can't seem to get them to work.

My code is as follows:
<?php
session_start();
?>

<html>
<body>

<?php
$_SESSION['persist']="hello world";
echo $_SESSION['persist'];
print_r($_SESSION);
?>

<a href="page2.php">Page 2</a>
</body>
</html>

which links to page2

<?php
session_start();
?>

<html>
<body>

<?php
$x= $_SESSION['persist'];
echo $x;
?>

<a href="page2.php">End</a>
</body>
</html>

but page two does not have hello world.

I changed the ini file
upload_tmp_dir="C:\PHP\upload"
session.save_path="C:\PHP\Sessions"

as well as all of the other places where session.save.path is.

and created the new directories and the sess vars still will not work! I checked the directories and it is not making session files with the session ID information either!

Any help is much appreciated!

Is there any error message ?
That will be helpful.

Run phpinfo() and check the local session save path is correct. Also check your browser doesn't have cookies disabled.

ran phpinfo, file path correct, cookies enabled.

does it matter where you put the directory for the session files? I put one in my php directory.

I'm using IIS...asp session variables work, but php doesn't. I checked the weblogs and IIS is creating a phpsessid but the files aren't showing up. Could IIS be the problem anyways?
