I build new Web server under Linux, using Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2. The server, originally based on SuSE 9.1 distribution, now is almost fully recompiled from sources. And under new configuration the cookies mechanism is not working.

I use following code to test cookies functionality:

(Toggle Plain Text)

if(!isset($_SESSION['here'])
{
	session_start();
	$_SESSION['here'] = 'Dragonfly';

	print('Cookie is set');
}
else
{
	print('Cookie contains '.$_SESSION['here'])
	unset($_SESSION['here']);
}

Cookie files in the session.save_path is appeared, but I can't access them in another page!

I think, the problem in wrong configure options of Apache and PHP.
I use:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \
--enable-so \
--enable-cgi \
--enable-info \
--enable-rewrite \
--enable-speling \
--enable-usertrack \
--enable-deflate \
--enable-ssl \
--enable-mime-magic
for Apache and

./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-mysql \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/php \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect \
--disable-cgi \
--with-zlib \
--with-bz2 \
--with-gettext \
--disable-xml
for PHP

Anybody can help me?

There are two types of ways to store user data. Sessions and cookies. They are not the same thing, they are completely different...

(Toggle Plain Text)

if(!isset($_SESSION)) {
  session_start();
  $_SESSION["here"] = "Drangonfly";
} else echo "<pre>" . var_dump($_SESSION, 1) . "</pre>";

a session only lasts as long as a browser window is open, a cookie lasts until a timeout date (if one is specified)
