From: dominik dot dorn at gmail dot com Operating system: Gentoo Linux PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: if session_name contains a dot, a new session is started every request Description: ------------ i was trying to fool a little around and tried to set the session_name to "MYSITE.NET_SessionID'. PHP sets a cookie with the name ASP.NET_SessionID but seems not to read it at the next page request. Reproduce code: --------------- I tried this with the session_name("ASP.NET_SessionID"); function and with setting it thru php.ini session.name = MYSITE.NET_SessionID i even tried to surround the text with quotes in php.ini like session.name = "MYSITE.NET_SessionID" or session.name = 'MYSITE.NET_SessionID" Expected result: ---------------- php reads the session id from the cookie names "MYSITE.NET_SessionID' and then reads the sessiondata with the specified sessionhash -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42750&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42750&r=mysqlcfg
