PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - Critical problems with Javascript and session_start

Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2007 7:37 am

Hello,

I try to develope a program using Php Dock and i get the following problems:

1. I have a javascript code that converts enter to tab keys. It's working on all internet explorer version but not on Php Dock.
http://mywebserver/forms/tab-key-emulation.html
2. The session lost when I open a new window. I used session_start() for the new window and session.auto_start=1
in php.ini.

Thank you,

It would be very helpful for our engineers to get code samples that will replicate the problems you faced.

with 1st issue, we'll contact you by email.
with 2nd, it's an expected behaviour if you use temporary cookies for passing session ID.
Indeed, when you open "New Window" from PhpDock, it runs new instance of Internet Explorer and this instance has no way to know any temporary cookies established in PhpDock.
When you open New Window in Ineternet Explorer, it does not run new instance at all (you'll see only one IE process in the process list).
