How to troubleshoot PHP session file empty issue?
- by Morgan Cheng
I have a very simple test page for PHP session.
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSIONS['views']))
{
$_SESSIONS['views'] = $_SESSIONS['pv'] + 1;
}
else
{
$_SESSIONS['views'] = 0;
}
var_dump($_SESSIONS);
?>
After refreshing the page, it always show
array
'views' => int 0
The environment is XAMPP 1.7.3. I checked phpInfo(). The session is enabled.
Session Support enabled
Registered save handlers files user sqlite
Registered serializer handlers php php_binary wddx
Directive Local Value Master Value
session.auto_start Off Off
session.bug_compat_42 On On
When the page is accessed, there is session file sess_lnrk7ttpai8187v9q6iok74p20 created in my "D:\xampp\tmp" folder. But the content is empty.
With Firebug, I can see cookies about the session.
Cookie PHPSESSID=lnrk7ttpai8187v9q6iok74p20
It seems session data is not flushed to files.
Is there any way or direction to trouble shoot this issue?
Thanks.
