osCAdminID generated and not letting the admin search

[sarath26]

I have heavily modded my site and its done in php5 and everything works well. When i log into admin section there is no osCAdminId is not created and so i can search for customer(which i added) because i have more than 1000 and i need to look at them...

Now the problem is when i uploaded this site into web server which has php4 , when i enter the admin, automatically oscAdminID is generated and that goes with me wherever i go in admin area, but when i search for customers using the text field above it goes to the login page of admin ..

search for product model mod in the admin/categories setion dont work either

Wht should i do to fix this, as search capability is very must in admin ...

this was an issue with oscadminid ..not any problem with versions of php as suspected first
doing the following should fix this problem

comment out the following from admin/includes/application_top.php

tep_session_name('osCAdminID');
tep_session_save_path(SESSION_WRITE_DIRECTORY);

/* comment following out
// set the session cookie parameters
if (function_exists('session_set_cookie_params')) {
session_set_cookie_params(0, DIR_WS_ADMIN);
} elseif (function_exists('ini_set')) {
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', '0');
ini_set('session.cookie_path', DIR_WS_ADMIN);
}*/
