RE: [PHP] Debugging a Session Problem

Sorry, I am stumped. I don't see any problems in the .ini file. Have you
tried some simple code in "register_globals off" style?

<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'foobar';
header('Location: page2.php');
?>

<?
session_start();
echo "test is {$_SESSION['test']}<br>";
?>

You did see my post about space left on /tmp?

another language? how dare you say such thing here on this list :)
