#39770 [NEW]: Session variables not preserved

From: ian dot hindle at csplc dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Session variables not preserved Description: ------------ I have had exactly the same problem as #24410 (Session variables not being preserved between pages). I edited the save path in the php.ini file as suggested, but when I tried displaying phpinfo, a completely different path was shown. When I created the directory in this path, my sessions worked. The developer who reported #24410 asked the question why his setting for session.save_path was being ignored, but seems to have had an epiphany that has eluded me! How is the save_path set? Reproduce code: --------------- (from php.ini file) session.save_path = "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\tmp" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39770&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39770&r=mysqlcfg
