Hi everyone,
Just in case you or anybody in the future (maybe reading the archive) come
accross the same problem here is how i have solved it and made all my
scripts run perfectly again as they were before.
I just created a .htaccess file and added these 2 lines since i dont have
direct access to the php.ini file:
php_value session.use_cookies 1
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
(Based on John Holmes reply)
This will only affect the directory which you put this in of course.
I found that even though session.use_cookies was on the
session.use_trans_sid was overriding it, I added the "php_value
session.use_cookies 1" just to make sure. I dont know if the overriding is
normal for everyone so check it out for youself if you have problems.
Below is my first message for this thread in case you are intrested.
Thank you everyone who replied.
Cheers,
-Ryan
