I have a similar problem with a customer running the shop at a german host (strato) with PHP 4.1.2

As far as found out, the session seems not to be stored properly. When I put an item in the cart I get this print_r-output from $cart and $_SESSION:

[code]
shoppingcart Object
(
    [contents] => Array
        (
            [5] => Array
                (
                    [qty] => 1
                )
        )
    [total] => 0
    [weight] => 0
    [content_type] => 
    [cartID] => 33489
)
:::::::::::: session::::::::::
Array
(
    [cart] => shoppingcart Object
        (
            [contents] => Array
                (
                    [5] => Array
                        (
                            [qty] => 1
                        )
                )
            [total] => 0
            [weight] => 0
            [content_type] => 
            [cartID] => 33489
        )
    [language] => german
    [languages_id] => 2
    [currency] => USD
    [navigation] => navigationhistory Object
        (
            [path] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [page] => product_info.php
                            [mode] => NONSSL
                            [get] => Array
                                (
                                    [products_id] => 5
                                    [action] => add_product
                                )
                            [post] => Array
                                (
                                    [products_id] => 5
                                    [x] => 85
                                    [y] => 9
                                )
                        )
                )
            [snapshot] => Array
                (
                )
        )
)
[/code]

after the redirect to shopping_cart.php (i replaced the redirection with a simple link) I got a "your cart is empty". When I place the same item in the cart again, I get this:

[code]
shoppingcart Object
(
    [contents] => Array
        (
            [16] => Array
                (
                    [qty] => 1
                )
        )
    [total] => 0
    [weight] => 0
    [content_type] => 
    [cartID] => 54909
)
:::::::::::: session::::::::::
Array
(
)
[/code]

As you can see, there is no more session information available. I did not dig deeper into this because my customer agreed to change hosts for their shop, because this host was too slow for the shop anyway.
