You may have read some of my previous posts on the problems I'm having
with AOL users.

Basically, I have a site that only AOL users have problems with. I
thought it was session related.

What I noticed was when I was testing my site before going live it was
running with PHP version 4.4.3. then when I uploaded to the live
server, this was running version 5.0.4.

I printed out both phpini outputs and compared both and there are quite
a few changes.

Has anyone experienced problems moving from an earlier version of PHP?

My site uses sessions to move data around from page to page including
login pages etc (no I'm not using IP for login). I have now included a
script at the top of each page before the session_start() that at the
moment contains...

<?php
ini_set('session.bug_compat_42',1);
ini_set('session.gc_divisor',100);
ini_set('session.hash_bits_per_character',4);
ini_set('register_globals',1);
?>

becuase these are some of the difference between the 2 php versions,
but doing this still won't allow AOL users to use my site.

I don't want to exclude AOL users from my site but at the moment this
is what is having to happen.

Anyone got any clues??

Thanks

Mike
