#34556 [Com]: Session_id has only 26 characters

ID: 34556 Comment by: yesmarklapointe at hotmail dot com Reported By: php at grossherzog dot de Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Suse Linux 9.3 PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: I am experiencing this too, on a WAMP install. PHP version is 5.2.6. Here is a sample of the session ID, it has 26 characters and the full alphabet is used: 92hj7ncq31s27jg27o5tv90gm0 (notice only small letters). I think the explanation is that if you look at phpinfo to inspect the php.ini settings, session.hash_bits_per_character is set to 5 rather than the default of 4. See the explanation in php.ini.
