this is not a bug!
Just your session vars are lock till all script ends and you cut this by
redirecting to new location. use this:

I have a user session which only works on the localhost. The session value gets
disappeared when i access over the network. I am doubting whether it is a
server
configuration problem.
Did any one face such a problem? If you have a solution I am very much in need.

This issue, as originally reported, was due to an IIS CGI bug described here:

I have exactly the same issue but not in all the browsers. Only Safari and
Internet Explorer causes the sessions to disappear. All the other browsers
works seamlessly.
I have tried everything mentioned in this thread to try and solve my redirect
and AWOL sessions issue but without any luck.
Running a Centos server with latest php and apache installed. I'm thinking of
just scraping the sessions idea and do a entry in a tmp table in my db.

Hi,
As i said earlier i have login page which registers session variables and go to
the login area where check.php will check for the session variables. Here i
compare old session id stored in session variable with session_id(). but here
initially stored sessionid and session_id() were not equal. It means browser is
generating new id after redirected. Could anyone help me in work around for
this.
I am desperately waiting for help over this.

I faced exactly the same problem : (USING W2K-IIS5/PHP4.3.7)
I take the login username and password and store it in the session and then
redirect to another page .. The first time I reach there the session is not
set. I hit browser back and re enter the login information it works fine
The first login page contains html only - no php
I start the session in the second page that checks the login and redirect to
the third page
MY SOLUTION - it worked for me in this way! :
I added the following to the first (html-only) page :
<?php
session_start();
?>
Isn't it strange ?!?
