Losing session variables

I have a page containing a form. The page submits to itself and if the
data validates, stores the posted variables into a database and also
into a session. I then use header to redirect to another page which
fetches the variables from the session array and displays them.

All works fine on the Linux test server. However the production server
is Windoze running PHP 5. reg globals off I am intermittently losing
variables. from the session array

It's not a register globals issue - sometimes they are there sometimes
not. The only other difference I can see is the session.gc.divi sor
which is set to 1000

Anyone come across anything like this?

Are you session-write-closing before redirect? This may help:

Thanks Tom, I've actually coded round the problem now but I needed to
know what caused it and that might explain it.

I'm maintaining (read: I didn't write it, nor do I have the time to spend to rewrite it) an application that is suddenly giving me grief. The reason I say suddenly, is because we're in the process of transitioning the server on which it runs from Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, to 2003 server (going from IIS 5 to IIS 6). This problem hasn't really occurred on the 2000 server machine, but it's happening MUCH more on the new 2003 box (not...

Session("UserName") is set when someone logs in. Get to a page that displays a record where you can type a comment. The form has an onSubmit event that calls a javascript function. That function sets a javascript variable called beenChecked = true and then calls a PopUp window to spell check the comment. When it's done spell checking, it calls the submit method on the form tag of the opening window. The method evaluates that it's...

Hi Folks I have a custom CMS built in classic ASP that is losing session variables. To wit, I can create a situation where my 'show all the set SVs' test page shows a different set of SVs on each refresh of the browser. My test page goes a little something like this: <h1>Checking Session Variables</h1> <h2>Checking what session variables are set.</h2> <p>

Hi there, I've recently been updating a site to use locking on application level variables, and I am trying to use a commonly used method which copies the application struct into the request scope. Application variables are then accessed in this manner Request.App.<Var>.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
