Hey guys,

I have a problem, tried to google some sollutions but without success. I am working with wamp2.0 - PHP 5.3, apache 2.2.11 but my sessions are not storing data.

I have a page that accepts a parameter, which (simplified version) I wanna store in a session, so I when I come to www.example.com/home.php?sessid=db_session_id

the script looks like:

session_start();

$sessid = @$_GET['sessid'];
if ($sessid) {
  $_SESSION['sessid'] = $sessid;
}
var_dump($_SESSION);

and outputs:

array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "db_session_id" } 

which is fine, but then, when I go to www.example.com/home.php (without the sessid parameter) the $_SESSION array is empty. I've event tried to comment the $_SESSION['sessid'] = $sessid; line before going to the page without the parameter, but still it didin't work.

I've checked the session_id() output and the session id remains the same.

Session settings from phpinfo()

array(1) {
  ["sessid"]=>
  string(0) ""
}

   array(6) {
      ["ZONEuser"]=>
      string(10) "3974260089"
      ["PHPSESSID"]=>
      string(26) "qhii6udt0cghm4mqilctfk3t44"
      ["__utmz"]=>
      string(91) "1.1294313834.54.3.utmcsr=u.cz|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/registered/packages"
      ["__utma"]=>

      ["__utmb"]=>
      string(18) "1.49.10.1294313834"
    }
