[SOLVED] session variables not passing on Windows Server 2003

[joshmaker]

I am trying to move a website I built onto a Windows 2003 server, however, the session variables don't seem to be working correctly.  Here is the first test page I created:

<?php
session_start();

session_register("level");

$_SESSION["level"] = 42;
print 'Session: '.$_SESSION["level"];
?>

<br />
<a href="sessiontest.php">session test</a>

  The page prints out "Session: 42".  Here is the code for the link:

<?php
session_start();

print 'Session: '.$_SESSION["level"];
?>

  This page prints out "Session: " -- for some reason the variable 'level' isn't being sent over.  I've checked that session.auto_start = 0 in php.ini and now I am out of ideas.  Anyone able to offer me any help?

I've tried it with and without "session_register("level");" as well as using "$HTTP_SESSION_VARS" instead of $_SESSION... still no luck getting sessions to work.

Make sure you have the session folder set in your php.ini file.

Good suggestion -- I had the session folder set, but I needed to change the permissions on it
