Problem with sessions on iPower

Posted: August 18, 2008

I work with several sites that are hosted by iPower and was having some real trouble with a couple scripts that required the use of sessions. Everything worked great on my test server which runs a similar version of Linux and Apache. For some reason the session information just would not carry over from page to page like it should. After a going over the code again and again, everything looked good, I couldn’t see any problem. So I turned to the Internet to do a little research. That’s when I came across a great article by Tim Chadwick that helped shed some light on my problem.

Setting the option to ‘no’ is supposed to keep the flash player from showing in the short version of your posts but there was some kind of bug in the coding.
