[thelist] PHP losing session value

[noah]

Thanks Richard and Carlos.

It's definitely a problem in all browsers, and it's all in one domain -- 
all of the links are relative, so it's not even moving in and out of 
"www" or anything like that. The exact same code works perfectly on my 
local development server and on my own production server.

After authentication.

I tried that, but so far with no success, due to what I think is some 
further oddness. Rather than allowing me to tweak the PHP config with 
.htaccess, the hosting company has placed a php.ini in the root 
directory of this site (I checked, and it's 403 if I try to access it 
via a browser) -- basically, I get my own php.ini. This seemed 
reasonable to me until I realized (and then confirmed) that nothing that 
I do to the php.ini has any effect, since Apache has to be restarted to 
load the new settings. Obviously I don't have permission to restart 
Apache, so I can't experiment with the config to try to solve the problem.

Cheers,
