缺少会话变量和cookie

Question

My PHP code works fine locally but when I upload it to my host provider it is incapable of passing session variables and cookies. Both PHP configuratoins seem to be identical. I wrote two simple scripts (no bells or whistles included) as examples for anyone to analize and provide a solution, if possible. test2.php displays no values whatsoever. Will appreciate your help very much.

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["testVar1"] = "Marlon";
$_SESSION["testVar2"] = "Brando";
setcookie("actor2","glenn ford",time()+60,"/");
header("Location: ./test2.php");
exit();
?>

<?php
session_start();
echo "Actor 1: ".$_SESSION["testVar1"]." ".$_SESSION["testVar2"]."<br>";
echo "Actor2: ",$_COOKIE['actor2'];
?>

Answer 1

Have you checked with your provider as to whether they are allowing session state variables?

Is your hosting provider using apache? if so, I think they need to add the mod_session module. This is not installed by default as far as I remember.
