Session variables missing

[Geoff Berrow]

I've been trying to add a login to a script for a client and the server
is not playing ball.

In the spirit of best advice received here I simplified it down to the
basics.

p1.php
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['test']="test";
print "<a href='p2.php'>p2</a>";
?>

p2.php
<?php
session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);
?>

p2.php shows just an empty array. I've tried using
session_write_close() and also passing the session id via the URL.
Nothing.

Anyone got any ideas? PHP is 4.3.9, server is running Linux and Apache

First of all, ensure you have all errors enabled and displayed:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','1');

I suspect you'll find an error in there.

Yes I did.
Warning: session_start():
open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_9269d5996c1abdfbf0cedd6af70c4ec3, O_RDWR)
failed: Permission denied (13)...

I guess I'll have to kick the server administrators.
