[Nossie]

MySQL Support enabled

MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE external
MYSQL_SOCKET /tmp/mysql.sock
MYSQL_INCLUDE -I/usr/local/include/mysql

EDIT: just thought I'd add... PHP doesnt run in safemode

[Chris Cromer]

I edited my post, I meant php version not mySQL version.

[Lapino]

I haven't found my MySQL version yet, but I'll tell you soon. My PHP IS running in safemode.

[Chris Cromer]

Read my post, I changed it a few seconds later to say php but yall didn't see the change.

[sylvester]

Does your host support SESSIONS ? That's very important!

[Chris Cromer]

Yes that is a very good reason why it might not work. Can I see you phpinfo.php files please so I can see if yall have sessions enabled?

You have sessions enabled Nossie, I checked yours.

I still need to check the other 2, so please post a link to your phpinfo.php files.

[Nossie]

You have sessions enabled Nossie, I checked yours.

Wasn't too hard to figure out the url.

I changed the name of mine so nobody knows what it is called.

This is related to the php version

Code Select Expand

<?phpecho phpinfo();?>

Put that in a file called phpinfo.php
Upload it to your host and call it from your browser.

It should give some like this

Look for a table named "session"
It should say "Session Support enabled " if it doesn't your host doesn't support sessions and you can not use this mod.

And I guess my questions answered too
_{I wanted to know what session handler you were using for this (phplib or php4's own session handling)}

btw, if you can access php.ini (or perhaps these settings can be altered in the script) take a look @ some of the session vars.

session.auto_start
session.cache_expire
session.cache_limiter
session.cookie_domain
session.cookie_lifetime
session.cookie_path
session.cookie_secure
session.entropy_file
session.entropy_length
session.gc_maxlifetime
session.gc_probability
session.name
session.referer_check
session.save_handler
session.save_path
session.serialize_handler
session.use_cookies

I see possibilities
Go for it Chris

[Chris Cromer]

I know what that stuff is, the thing I want to know is if they have it enabled or not. If they do... then I guess I have a bug to hunt down... if not then they need to activate sessions... or don't use sessions.

All I am waiting for is for them to put the phpinfo.php file up so I can see if they have sessions enabled.

Darn it.  I still can't get it to work. Keeps logging me out on everything and my phpinfo file looks exactly like it should.  

[Hagar]

Yes, but what about the cookie lifetime???
It defaults to 0 so sessions stop after the browser closes or the session-lifetime is passed.
But if you enable session.use_cookies and set session.cookie_lifetime to a normal value the relogin problem some users find annoying will also be solved

[Hagar]

Could you give the link to phpinfo?

[Chris Cromer]

Here is his:

They really should disguise the name... they are too easy to find.
