Recently I installed Redhat 9 / Apache and PHP on a local PC [on my LAN].
PHP 4.3.6 [from terminal > php --version]
PHP 4.2.2 [from Apache via phpinfo() test page]
Apache 2.0.40
With this test session code:
- Code: Select all
<?
session_start();
if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['inputName']))
{
$Name=$HTTP_POST_VARS['inputName'];
}
$nameIs=0;
if($_SESSION["Name"]){$nameIs+=1;}
if($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["Name"]){$nameIs+=4;}
$Count++;
session_register("Name");
session_register("Count");
?>
<html>
<body>
<?
$SID=session_id();
echo "session name: ".session_name()."<BR>\n";
echo "session id: ".session_id()."<BR>\n";
echo "session module name: ".session_module_name()."<BR>\n";
echo "session save path: ".session_save_path()."<BR>\n";
echo "encoded session: ".session_encode()."<BR>\n";
if($Name!=""){echo "Hello $Name<BR>";}
echo "You [ $Name ] have been here $Count times.<BR>\n";
echo "<form action='$SCRIPT_NAME?".$SID."' METHOD=POST>";
echo "<input name='inputName' value='$sess_name'><BR>";
echo "<input type=submit>";
echo "<a href='$SCRIPT_NAME?".$SID."'>Reload Page</a>";
?>
<HR>
NameIs=<?=$nameIs;?>
If I load up the page and enter "blah" and submit, it will store into the /tmp/sess* file this:
Name|s:4:"blah";Count|i:1;
But it will never update it from there, the count remains 1 etc. I can delete the file, or destroy the session and then it will store the new posted data.
any help would be grealy appreciated. pointers or suggested reading is fine too :)
also here is the phpinfo() output section for the session stuff:
