The session related issue with PHP5 has been fixed in a recent commit to 
repository
and should be reflected in the new release.
Work has begun on php5 adoption. Please keep those issues coming.

Thank you for your answer.
Since I am not a php developer, let me tell you what I have seen in my server.
Inserting diferents "print $variable" in diferents locations, I saw that 
get_parameter function in common.php didn't get the values from the login 
formulary. 
After looking for in php documentation I changed $HTTP_POST_VARS and 
$HTTP_GET_VARS 
with $_POST and $_GET. After that I saw it worked fine getting username and 
password.
Another problem was with set_session function, also in common.php. I have read 
in 
php documentation not to use session_is_registered function if $_SESSION 
variable is 
used. It was recommended to use isset($_SESSION) insted of 
session_is_registered. So I changed:
___________________________________________

  if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
    start_session();
    print "Error de session";
    exit;
  };
  $_SESSION['$param_name']=$param_value;
  print $param_name . " = " . $_SESSION['$param_name'];
}
_______________________________________

And that's all I have probed. Exit never is executed. The last print shows that 
it 
works fine. Another print like that in login.php shows that all the variables 
are 
correctly setted. But when redirect ocurrs to admin_main_menu.php or similar, 
all 
setted variables are lost, although isset($_SESSION) returns true.
Of course I am working with swifttide.108b.tar.

-Sorry if my english is not good and my php is even worst.

hello all,

I am working with swifttide 108b and also can't login after installation and 
was wondering if the solution to this problem will be found here in what I read.

Do I use d suggestions made by editing common.ph and other files? Will it work 
with the latest version of wamp? If anyone can help by posting here or sending 
me the already edited file to eyekay234@gmail.com will really appreciate it as 
requests for help on this issue haven't been answered.

Thanks
