Hopiing for some leads as to what may be wrong in this code

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all,

I have a seemingly strange thing happening here. I have a contact form 
on one website that works perfectly and that same form with appropriate 
changes, results in an error message during a check of a random number 
(created with mt_rnd() ) on the other site. Both sites are located on 
the same remote servers.

Win 7, PHP 5.3.5, XAMPP local server, standard Unix remote server:

Please consider the following:

Complete form consists of three .PHP pages; no HTML. Entry form, check 
page, mailto() page; pretty standard stuff in that way:

================
WORKING CODE ON REMOTE SERVER:

Setting the code on landing page:
	$_SESSION["d"] = $d;
--------------------

  $code= $_POST["code"];
  if($_SESSION["d"] !== $code) {
  	echo "<br />You did not enter the correct code: Script halted, ALL 
data destroyed.<br /> you'll have to go back to the website and start 
over.<br />";
	die("Script HALTED, data destroyed");
session_destroy();
exit();
}
RESULT:
page throws no error either with local or remote server: Message is sent 
successfully.

===============================

NON-WORKING CODE ON REMOTE SERVER BUT WORKS ON LOCAL HOST:

Setting the code on previous page:
	$_SESSION["d"] = $d;
----------------------
Page with problem:
  $code= $_POST["code"];
  if($_SESSION["d"] !== $code) {
  	echo "<br />You did not enter the correct code: Script halted, ALL 
data destroyed.<br /> you'll have to go back to the website and start 
over.<br />";
	die("Script HALTED, data destroyed");
session_destroy();
exit();
}

RESULT:
[Gets stuck on the second page of the form where PHP sanitize/validation 
happens; never makes it to last page with the mail() function]:

  using code : 487-535175 <----------- WHICH IS CORRECT CODE
You did not enter the correct code: Script halted, ALL data destroyed.
you'll have to go back to the website and start over.
Script HALTED, data destroyed
================

Can you spot any differences there? The local server throws NO error, 
notices or warnings. But the Remote Server stops cold on the second 
page, indicating the code is wrong. But it's not; I can see the code; 
it's correct. But it seems to never be seen as correct by my Remote 
Server while my Local Server accepts it perfectly.

What really gets me is it works on one site and not the one I'm trying 
to perpetuate the code to. OH, and both sites are on the same Remote 
Servers at Netfirms.com. Separate accounts of course.
    I'm not using rewrites, no php changes on the Remote Server; both 
sites are on the same server.
    Any thoughts or ideas what I might be doing wrong or where else I 
should be looking?

TIA,

twayne`
