Sessions breaking

Question

A client of mine has installed a simple server configuration onto his office PC. It all works (PHP & MySQL) but something is going on with sessions.

If I have login window as a separate popup (on any browser), the session keys generated in the window don't go to the opener - even if I send session id to it on the address bar.

The same login system works on every other server (including my default WAMP installation) but the client's one.

Answer 1

Set

session.use_cookies

To the value 1 in the php.ini configuration file on the server, usually located in the PHP install directory. Then restart Apache.

Answer 2

You will probably need to check the client web browser, did he use IE7/8 with Vista?

PHP Session normally needs cookie enable, if it's not enable then, you will not be able to login no matter how you pass the session id.
