Session variables not created in https area

[M@RT]

Hi y'all

 

I have set up my shop so that it is running on an SSL certificate. The shop seems to link through to the https area correctly and any session variables that are created are correctly registered upto that point.

 

As soon as I enter the https area however, any new session variables are being registered but without any values...???? :'(

 

Below is the session print out:

 

[customer_id] =>

[customer_first_name] =>

[customer_default_address_id] =>

[customer_country_id] =>

[customer_zone_id] =>

[shipping] =>

[sendto] =>

[test] => yes

[billto] =>

[comments] =>

 

As you can see the majority of sessions have no value apart from [test] => yes which was created manually using:

$test = "yes";
$_SESSION['test'] = $test;

 

It would appear that the built in tep_session_register(); functions are not working properly...???

 

Can anyone help me out?

 

Many Thanks
