|I have tested the 2 scripts below....

| aoltest.php
| *************
| <?php
| session_start();
| $_SESSION[s_check1] = "4";
| ?>
| <a href="aoltest3.php">click me</a>
|
|
| aoltest3.php
| **************
| <?php
| session_start();
| ?>
| <body>
| The session is <?php echo $_SESSION[s_check1];?><br>
| </body>
|
| Both on 2 different servers. 1 running PHP version 5.0.4 and the other
| running 4.4.3.
|
| Both work fine until tested with a user on an AOL ISP. The one under
| 4.4.3 works perfectly but the one under 5.0.4 fails and the session is

there was a huge discussion about AOL and sessions about a month or two ago.
i'd just search for it as i remember it being resolved.
on another note, unless s_check1 is a constant, i.e. define('s_check1',
'some value'), always be explicit...as in $_SESSION['s_check1']. otherwise,
you will eventually run into problems aside from the fact that you are
writing less than optimal code - it will always be slower because php has to
see if s_check1 is defined literally somewhere else so it can use the
correct value/key or, it will cast it as a string...as opposed to php
knowing it is a string and the value of the string is the key for the
$_SESSION array element.
but that's just my 0.02 usd.
