PHP & SESSION problems

I've never had problems with SESSIONS until now. It seems that I can't set
SESSIONS at all.

Here's my test scripts:

I'm trying to set a session in ANY way in this script. I redirect to another
script which should show ANY sessions, but nothing is in either
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS or $_SESSION.

What gives?

<?

session_start();

$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["TEST1"] = "TEST1";

$_SESSION["TEST2"]="TEST2";

session_register("TEST3");
$TEST3 = "MY TEST";

header("Location: test2.php");

?>

##should show sessions, but there's nothing. What's going on?

<?
session_start();

print_r($HTTP_SESSION_VARS);
print_r($_SESSION);
?>

Here session info I got from phpinfo().

"short_open_tag = Off" in your php.ini? :P

==========================

I found the problem.

- Sessions are written to a file on the server
- The default path is /tmp/

Sessions were not being written to the folder. Fixed folder permissions
etc... and it works now.
