#48063 [NEW]: Spontaneously disappearing, cookie-based sessions

From: myselfasunder at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Spontaneously disappearing, cookie-based sessions Description: ------------ I have set the following: session_name('GOLDENCOLLECTION'); session_set_cookie_params(86400 * 3); ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', '1'); ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 86400 * 3); I can load the same page many times successfully. However, if I wait a while, around twenty minutes, the session's members are no longer available. This is the first time I've used cookies to carry the SID (instead of putting them in the URL). I have administrative control of the system. Reproduce code: --------------- session_start(); Expected result: ---------------- The session should be started and all preexisting members should be available. They -does- happen, but until only around twenty or thirty minutes have elapsed, and then they'll be gone. Actual result: -------------- They'll disappear without me doing anything. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48063&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48063&r=mysqlcfg
