no items at checkout, login not sticky

[jennya]

Hi there,
All has worked great for awhile. Now we are having a new problem.
After a customer logs in, adds an item to the cart and clicks "checkout" they are told that there are no items in the cart and they are no longer logged in. I am guessing this is a sessions issue - however I am a PHP newbie and don't know how to check/fix this. :rolleyes:

The cart url is: http://www.strategicrenewal.com/resources.php

Thanks in advance for the great support!

Hi,
Here is some additional info:
I am using PHP 4.3 with safe mode off and register globals on.

I have verified that sessions are being entered into the temp_sessions table. It seems that the program is reading table as empty when the cart_preview function is executed?

Any help is appreciated as our cart has been down several days now.

Thank you!

Thanks to the help of Jamie, it appears that issue is caused by our host's server running PHP 4.3.2RC4 - a beta version of PHP. This version has had sessions related bugs reported.

Many thanks also to GTroll for his help on this!
