Follow up to my previous thread re. AOL Problems..
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.php/browse_thread/thread/15b6fb311e7a75ac?hl=en
I created the following 2 scripts and uploaded them to the web...
123test.php
----------------
<?php
$option = 'session.use_trans_sid';
ini_set($option,1);
session_start();
$_SESSION['123test'] = "Can you see me";
?>
<head>
<title>123test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
</head>
<body>
<p>The test text is - <?php echo $_SESSION['123test'] ?></p>
<p> <a href="456test.php">Link to next test page</a> </p>
</body>
</html>
456test.php
-----------------
<?php
session_start();
?>
<head>
<title>456test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
/>
</head>
<body>
<p>The test text is - <?php echo $_SESSION['123test'] ?></p>
<p>If it says "Can you see me" above then it worked</p>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>
I then blocked all my cookies in my IE and tried the scripts and it
wored as expected, the session id was passed in the URL and the session
123test came across.
I then asked an AOL user to try the same and it didn't work.
I have read in loads of places that the AOL browser has problems, just
google AOL browser problems as see the returns!
I therefore asked the AOL users to connect to the net, minimise the AOL
browser and use a standard IE that came with their PC.
When they tried to move from page to page on the main site after
logging in (not passing the sessid in the URL) it still didn't work.
I'm going mad here trying to work out why AOL users can't pass session
cookies from page to page.
Anyone got any solutions?
Thanks
Mike
