I'm moving my existing php/mysql web application from one server (referred to as OLDSERVER) to a new server (referred to as NEWSERVER). After a user logs on to the system a session is created for that user. This session is then used to store information about the users process when navigating through the web application, to be able to pass this control information from one php script to the next. This applications works great on the OLDSERVER.

I've put together 2 very simple scripts to test this with. On the OLDSERVER they work just fine.

My problem is on the NEWSERVER.
I can see that after the first script runs, and puts some data in the generated session file. Which I examine via WS_ftpPro. This first script has a link to script 2, I then click on that link.

Script 2 is suppose to get data from the generated session file and display it on the web page. It doesn't. Again via WS-ftpPro I can see that the data is erased(cleared out of the session file).

These to very simple scripts work just fine on the OLDSERVER.

I've compared the php.ini file from the 2 servers and they are the same. I'm lost so can someone help me or at least tell me who to contact to get help?

Help,
Larry Mainer.

sounds like it is almost definately a difference in configuration.. maybe in how php was installed? or even somthing else on the server.

did you check what phpinfo says for each of them..?

try to make a page on each server with this on it...
compare the session section on each..
