Sessions not working in windows vista

[Angkor]

Hi All,

I am trying to pass value from a page to another page through session
variable.

session_start();
$_SESSION["ses_aid"] = $value("aid");
.....

$_SESSION["ses_aid"] has value within its original page. But
$_SESSION["ses_aid"] has empty value in another page. Even I have
placed session_start(); in every page.

I have developed the site in Windows Vista Home Premium with latest
version of both PHP and mySQL.

Could you please help me because i need it urgently?

1) Check wether the cookie is accepted by the browser.
2) Check wether the output of session_id() stays the same.
3) Check wether there's a file created in session.save_path, and possible
user write permissions for this path.

- How to check whether session_id(); stay the same? If not, what
should i do?
- Yes, I am using IIS.

I'd advise you to install wampserver or XAMPP, if that's an option.

Well he didn't ask for that, did he?
He is using IIS, and PHP works perfectly well on IIS (well almost
perfectly).

I would advise him to check Riks questions.

He may not have asked, but sweet heavens just move to linux and be
done with it.

Short of that, run WAMP.

Short of that, don't forget:
session_register("ses_aid");

Nonsense. While I prefer a LAMP server, running a WIMP is not that
difficult either.

Short of that, don't forget:
session_register("ses_aid");

session_register() is antiqued now. If you're still using it: don't.

session_register may be depracated, but if you're running a windows
server for anything, you're crazy. Sure it's easy, you just run the
wamp executable. But then things start to get weird, like session
data dissapears. So if you're still using WAMP/WIMP for production,
don't.

Nonsense. A nice Windows Server with Exchange, BackOffice, and all that
Office / Outlook / SQL integration stuff is perfectly suitable for an
mid-sized company (and no matter what people say often more cheaper,
reliable, and easier to maintain by the people there themselves than all
that fancy free and/or open source equivalents). If they need a website
tightly integrated into that system (identify users etc.), using Windows &
IIS is likely to be a lot easier.

Sure it's easy, you just run the
wamp executable. But then things start to get weird, like session
data dissapears. So if you're still using WAMP/WIMP for production,
don't.

Depends on the circumstances. For a dedicated webserver (and only that)
I'd say you were correct, but don't underestimate the wants, needs and
other roles of the same machine in intranets.

Sometimes there are very valid reasons for running a Windows server.
Linux is NOT for everyone!

And in one of your responses over on comp.lang.javascript, the OP did
not say that the advce he was looking for was for him to use, but that
did not stop you offering incorrect advice.

IIS can operate OK with PHP, but there are so many other things that
it does not do anywhere near as well as apache, I offered the advice I
did. I didn't offer it to you, so I suggest you just ignore it.

What are you talking about?
I do not understand the above sentence very well, but I think it boils
down to your opinion I gave somebody bad advice. Correct?

How is that relevant to this discussion what I wrote in c.l.j?

I am at a loss. :-/

It seems to me you are offended easily, and you didn't like it I said
your Apache advice doesn't solve the OPs problem since he is on IIS.
If that is the case: Sorry mate, I didn't want to offend you.

Well, even though I agree with your advise I will ignore it, if you like
that.

Lighten up a little Captain, it is almost weekend.
