PHP Session Vars & Flash Movie

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I have a small application made in flash, that uses a set of PHP scripts
to pull data from a database. I've added sessions to this scripts so
they would only return the data if a proper session has been
initialized, the flash movie is hosted in a sessioned php as well so you
can only see it if a session has been initialized.

All of it works well, the flash movie calls the scripts and the scripts
return the data if and only if a session has been started. all of this
was tested on Apache 2.2.2 and PHP 5.1.6 and works as expected. however,
moving the whole thing to another server running Apache 2.2.6 with PHP
5.2.4 does not work, the flash movie calls the scripts, but it seems to
be calling them outside the session set in PHP, thus the scripts return
and invalid session message, if we call the scripts directly once the
session has been initialized they return the correct data.

So, the question is, is the above working because we are relaying on
some bug in the previous versions of apache+php or are we missing some
setting in the new versions ? We have tried to find a relevant setting
making a difference but so far we are not able to do so.

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards.
