Issues running PHP 5 in my hosting

[ferrins]

Hi everbody!

 

I developed a web portal totally in PHP 5, and I had it running on my college server flawlessly. Now, I just hired a hosting (Dreamhost) and I have serious problems to make the code work, it seems like anything that is variable session related it just doesn't work, like the login system, calendar, captcha, etc...

 

So, I upload one phpinfo() at every server, one in my college at the other one at Dreamhost, but I suck so bad that I don't even know where to start looking :S

 

If anyone wanna give it a look and save my ass:

 

College server is at: http://citmalumnes.upc.es/pfc/fcases/info.php

At Dreamhost: http://www.soroll.cat/info.php

 

Is the register_globals thing, maybe the session table? gee I'm totally lost, any tip on this I'll apreciate.

 

Thanks for reading.

The session setups are both the same by the looks of it. Try a test script.

 

<?php

  session_start();
  if (!isset($_SESSION['i'])) {
    $_SESSION['i'] = 1;
  } else {
    $_SESSION['i']++;
  }
  echo "The value of \$_SESSION['i'] is {$_SESSION['i']}";

?.

 

Load this up and refresh it a few times. If the value increments, your sessions are working fine.

Turning on full php error reporting would help in finding what the problem is. Also, posting your code would allow someone to immediately see what it is doing that is configuration dependent.
