Session Closes on Refresh

[gfender]

I've been trying to find out why my sessions close when I hit the refresh button. Does it have something to do with a new sessionID? I understand that when the browser is closed the sessions close, does refreshing do the same thing? If so, is there any way to fix this.

Thanks.

are you sure sessions are actually closing and not just being overwritten with a new session( provided that the page you are refreshing is the one that creates the session)?

that is the behavior that i would expect

Ok, i looked in the /tmp folder and the sessions are not closing, a new session is just being created everything the window refreshes.

Exactly what of PHP's session-handling functions are you using how?

On my PHP installation, the following code:

<?php
session_start();

if (!array_key_exists('foo', $_SESSION))
{
	$_SESSION['foo'] = 1;
	print &quot;first run&quot;;
}
else
{
	print '<pre>';
	print session_id();
	print &quot;\n&quot;;
	print_r ($_SESSION);
}
?>

outputs "first run" the first time the script is invoked, and the same session ID and session variable contents on all successive runs.
