[PHP] Configuration problems concerning sessions.

[Mannequin*]

Hi all. I'm having problems using sessions. I've been able to narrow
it down to a configuration problem, but I have no idea what to look
for in php.ini or whatever.

Anyway, let me explain a bit more. For some odd reason php on my local
machine will not pass any variables when you either reload the page or
when you try and pass the $PHPSESSID to another page. For example,
I've used a test script that is supposed to work like a counter.

You have been here $count times.");
?>

Okay, so when you reload this script it's supposed to increase $count
by one. But it doesn't. No matter how many times I reload it stays at
1.

I'm using GNU Debian Linux Unstable (PPC platform) with Apache 1.3.26-1,
PHP 4.2.1. I don't know how much this has to do with this, but I do
have track-vars enabled.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Actually, I've found the problem on a Debian mailing list. After all
of this, I found out that under Debian with the PowerPC architecture
Sessions do not work.

Thanks for all of your help, though.
