I need urgent assistance for a problem I encountered with a thesis project due in two weeks.

I have a patch using jit.uldl to query a php script. This php script transmits variables from MAX to my database via $_SESSION variables. The main problem is (on my MAC): it calls the php script and carries out the code, EXCEPT for the part of the code that creates the $_SESSION variables.

What is very puzzling is that I took the same MAX patch to my PC and it works with no problem. When the php script is called, _SESSION variables are created as well, and my database is populated accordingly.

But, I need to present using my MAC powerbook which has everything else I need for this entire project to work.

I thought MAX/MSP is cross platform. I have version 4.5

Thanks for any advice.

I’m using the $_GET array ($_GET['clientid'] in you case for example)
in my php scripts with the same kind of request, no problems.

I also use the $_GET array as well and did not have problems with that part of the code. The only problem I continue to have was the php script creating the $_SESSION variables when called from MAX (in a MAC). Outside Mac-version MAX, the php script works well (both when called through a browser or through Windows version of MAX/MSP/Jitter).

It’s been frustrating. I have tried creating just a tiny max patch that calls a very simple php script that creates _SESSIOn variables. IT doesn’t happen.

jit.uldl for Mac will be completely rewritten using more modern
libraries from Apple at some point. It’s not going to be in the next
couple of weeks, though.

Don’t get me wrong, that’s not a criticism, just a feature request.

these can be changed by modifying the php.ini file (i think).
