#42150 [Opn->Bgs]: session_start() fails when safe_moce = On

ID: 42150 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: jonas at chown dot dk -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Safe Mode/open_basedir Operating System: Linux - Gentoo PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: The change is actually supposed to be in PHP 5.2.3 but I guess Gentoo people decided they can release 5.2.3 with extra patches. See also bug #42077 This is not the place to report bugs in Gentoo packages. Try http://bugs.gentoo.org/ instead.

After the upgrade to php 5.2.3-r3 from 5.2.2-r1 some of my pages that uses sessions no longer works. If I use safe_mode = On (only change made to php.ini) and do a session_start() I get a message that SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. This used to work on PHP 5.2.2. If I downgrade to php 5.2.2 it works again, so it is the php upgrade that triggers this error. Permissions on /tmp is as they should be on a tmp dir. I have not been able to find anything in the change log that mentions this change of behavior. drwxrwxrwt 42 root root 12288 2007-07-30 23:56 tmp Reproduce code: --------------- <? session_start(); $_SESSION['test'] = "hejsa"; for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { echo $i .
