Session problem with Chronoform 1.0

shreyasborse 01 Dec, 2011
Hi ,

I am using Joomla 1.0.15 and Chronoform 1.0 Stable version🙂 .

(I know these are very old versions but I have to stick to Joomla 1.0 as we have done many customization in it.)

My problem is very unique we have not modified Chronoform and it works perfectly well.
But when we switch on the image verification the form cannot be submitted.

I troubleshooted the issue and found that the session array is blank.

And no value is coming for $_SESSION['chrono_verification']


Initially I thought it could be the server issue but sessions are getting created on the server.

session.save_path = "/tmp"

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

session.use_cookies = 1

session.save_handler = files

session.auto_start = 0

session.name = PHPSESSID

session.cache_expire = 180

session.cache_limiter = nocache

session.entropy_length = 0

session.serialize_handler = php

session.use_only_cookies = 0

register_globals = On # turned on for testing


I created a sample php file which can be called directly and it shows the session value so the sessions are getting created.

But I am unable to read the value of session in chronocontact.php file

It would be great if you can help me to troubleshoot this issue,is there any file to upgrade that can fix this ?


Thanks,
Shreyas

Interesting: so far I was checking phpinfo in a external file.

I just opened the phpinfo in Joolma backend and i was surprised to see that the

Local value of session.name is changed to "d9eb6e7bbb168a8a07c77d8afc3d0298" from PHPSESSID i think this could be the reason.

I think I am very close now.

Hi Shreyas,

Check the info in the Joomla! User session - usually saved in a database table.
