I've looked and the session.save_path is read/write accessable, but the
majority of the session are blank so I'm not sure where I went wrong.
I'm using just this basic form at the moment:
<?php // text1.php
session_start();
$firstname = $_SESSION['firstname'];
$lastname = $_SESSION['lastname'];
$title = $_SESSION['title'];
$institution = $_SESSION['institution'];
$street = $_SESSION['street'];
$city = $_SESSION['city'];
// form
echo <<<HTML
<head><title>text1</title></head><body>
<form method="post" action="text2.php">
First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" value=""/><br/>
Last Name: <input type="text" name="lastname" value=""/><br/>
Title: <input type="text" name="title" value=""/><br/>
Institution: <input type="text" name="institution" value=""/><br/>
Street: <input type="text" name="street" value=""/><br/>
City: <input type="text" name="city" value=""/><br/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form></body></html>
HTML;
?>
and want to be able to pull the information on any of the subsiquent 3
or 4 pages that people go through before completing it, but the session
record is blank in the file.
