#42899 [Opn->Bgs]: problems with session_regenerate_id(true)

ID: 42899 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: p dot nijs at xs4all dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Debian Etch PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Check the session.gc_* settings and docs Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-09 09:58:17] p dot nijs at xs4all dot nl Description: ------------ Session_regenerate_id(true) leaves a bunch of new sessions behind when stress-testing by doing a continue page refresh (F5 in IE/Windows). Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_start(); $old_sessionid = session_id(); session_regenerate_id(true); $new_sessionid = session_id(); echo "Old Session: $old_sessionid<br />"; echo "New Session: $new_sessionid<br />"; echo "Please look for the amount of newly created sessions in " . session_save_path(); ?> Navigate to this file with your browser and hold F5 continuously for 5 seconds, triggering multiple refreshes after each other. Expected result: ---------------- Only 1 session should be in the session_save_path (the newly generated session only, the old ones should have been deleted). Actual result: -------------- Multiple sessions were created, it seems that the PHP-engine didn't have the time(?) to delete the old sessions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42899&edit=1
