dear all

im using redhat 7.2 distribution for webserver
and uninstalled the apache rpm and installed
apache 1.3.27 from source and configured using
./configure --enable-module=so
make & make install
and went on to compile and install php4.2.3 also from source
using
./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql
make & make install

everything seems to work fine except a couple of statements
that have to do with get_session("------")

its not a coding problem cuz the exact same php application used
to work just fine previously and still does on other computers

just for reference.. this is the result of httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_env.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_status.c
mod_include.c

mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_so.c
mod_setenvif.c
