[FX.php List] Very strange session variable problem

[Tom Sepper]

Where's your session_start(); in relation to your headers? I seem to
remember that session_start() should be before any header information.

No, I didn't include the FX pages because they weren't referenced on  
those pages.

When I did a simple set and retrieve I did see my session variable.

I still don't know why it's not working properly; I'm using a META  
tag to redirect the user to another page, and I wonder if somehow  
it's messing things up. Here's what I'm doing:

on page 1, I'm setting the variable, then using a META tag to go to a  
2nd page.

On page 2, $_SESSION doesn't retrieve the variable, although I can  
retrieve it on page 1 using the exact same $_SESSION call.

The pages are on a machine running PHP 4.3.10; i use 4.4.4 on my web  
server; I wonder if this is something to do with the web server these  
pages are hosted on (it's not one of mine).
