XAMPP setting difference for linux and XP


thankqwerty

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm using XAMPP on my computers to setup a local server to test my code (both on linux and XP), I installed both at the same time (so the two should be the same version) i did not change any of the default setting. The problem is that my website contains a bit session, my code works perfectly fine on the XP system, whereas on the linux system the information that i store with session can't carry on to the other page.

the php.ini file for my xampp of my windows system
[session]
session.save_handler = files

session.save_path = "C:\xampp\tmp"

session.use_cookies = 1

session.name = PHPSESSID

session.auto_start = 0

session.cookie_lifetime = 0

session.cookie_path = /

session.cookie_domain =

session.serialize_handler = php

session.gc_probability = 1

session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1

session.referer_check =

session.entropy_length = 0

session.entropy_file =

session.cache_limiter = nocache

session.cache_expire = 180

session.use_trans_sid = 0

session.hash_function = 0

session.hash_bits_per_character = 4

url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="

 

the php.ini session setting of xampp of my windows machine
[session]
session.save_handler = files

session.save_path = /tmp

session.use_cookies = 1

session.name = PHPSESSID

session.auto_start = 0

session.cookie_lifetime = 0

session.cookie_path = /

session.cookie_domain =

session.serialize_handler = php

session.gc_probability = 1

session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440

session.referer_check =

session.entropy_length = 0

session.entropy_file =

session.cache_limiter = nocache

session.cache_expire = 180

session.use_trans_sid = 1

url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry"

 

any suggestion???  ;D

Add the following two lines immediately after your first <?php tag on the page where you set up any session variables and on any page that references the session variables and they don't work -

 

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

 

Also, post an example of your code. You might be doing something server configuration specific having nothing to do with the session settings.

Just to make my problem clear, I run the same exact codes on a windows system and a linux system with the same version of XAMPP, but only the window one works.

 

This is the 1st page where the session values are defined. I tested the variables in this page and they all work fine.

<?php session_start(); ?>
<html>
<body>
..
..
..
..
if ($redo != 0)
{

$_SESSION['redo'] = $redo;
$_SESSION['username'] = $_POST["username"];

echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;register.php" />';
}
..
..
</body>
</html>

 

This is the code for the page that i have problem with. Where the value of session passed from the other page is lost.

 

<?php 
session_start(); 
$redo = 0;
if (isset($_SESSION['redo'])) 
  {
    $redo = $_SESSION['redo'];
    if ($redo == 2) $usr = $_SESSION['username'];
  }
$redo = $_SESSION['redo'];
?>

<html>
<body>
<h1>User register</h1>
<form action="checkinput.php" method="post">
<font size="4" face="Times">
User Name: <input type="text" name="username" value="<?php if ($redo == 2) echo $usr;?>"/>
<?php if (($redo == 1)||($redo == 3))  echo "     Sorry, the user name is taken.".'</br>'; 
else 
echo '</br>';
?>
</br>

Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" size="50"/>
<?php if (($redo == 2)||($redo == 3))  echo "     Please input the password correctly.".'</br>'; 
else 
echo '</br>';
?>
</br>

Comfirm Password: <input type="password" name="cpwd" size="50"/>
</br>

<input type="submit">
</form>
</font>
</body>
</html>

If you are not going to follow the advice that was given, it is going to take a really long time to find what the problem is. ::)

Could you post the first 4-5 lines of current code in both files?

 

Lacking all your code to be able to duplicate the problem, my next best guess is a register_globals problem (variables of the same name overwriting each other.) What does a phpinfo(); statement show for the register_globals setting on each system?

I put in what you suggested. They both start with,

<?php 
ini_set ("display_errors", "1");
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start(); ?>
<html>

 

"Lacking all your code to be able to duplicate the problem, my next best guess is a register_globals problem (variables of the same name overwriting each other.) What does a phpinfo(); statement show for the register_globals setting on each system?"

 

I don't understand that, sorry i'm too noob. :(
