thankqwerty Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 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???

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankqwerty Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thankqwerty Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 ok, i just put the two lines in but no different ??? :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thankqwerty Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
