Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have a login page, that submits a form, and if the client is authenticated, he is redirected to a frameset. Now, when in the process authentication, I set various session variables. My problem is "sometimes" , when the induvidual frames need to read these sessions, the session file is either completely empty or very the values are very weird. I mail myself the session file when this happens, and the result is ... ... access_level|N;auth_user|N;auth_pwd|N; .... instead of something like ... access_level|s:1:"1";auth_user|s:11:"87635jdg87h";auth_pwd|s:8:"xgJ76Hdv";... Has anyone seen something like this, or know why this happens ??? I make use of PEAR : HTTP_Session 0.51, but this happend on version 0.1 aswell... We use a NFS share as the session store directory, but this also happens on the NFS host, which will make use of local file sharing (no mount for the host) Thanks Deon Heunis
