ID: 48516 Comment by: c dot mueller at gmx dot net Reported By: mail at julian-stier dot de Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.3CVS-2009-06-10 (snap) New Comment: I guess it has to do with http://de.php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php $string = md5(crypt('test123', 'any_string_with_special_chars&"?!$')); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-10 13:37:10] mail at julian-stier dot de Hi, I changed session.use_only_cookies to 0 and eventually found out, that it doesnt´t crash just on session_start() .. it´s really weird. http://yourcounty.yo.funpic.de/ works fine, but http://yourcounty.yo.funpic.de/bug doesn´t. http://yourcounty.yo.funpic.de/bug/index.phps is the code. Funpic works with the following phpinfo: http://phpinfo.ph.funpic.de My local server works with the described snapshot. While Funpic prints to me "No suitable nodes are available to serve your request.", my local server doesn´t load the page. The crash happened mostly when I typed the url without an ending slash ("/"): localhost/my_path instead of localhost/my_path/index.php or localhost/my_path/ Is it a bug of apache? Since I changed the session.use_only_cookies settings the above code works fine .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-10 12:50:52] jani@php.net Does PHP 5.2.9 (or rather, the latest snapshot of 5.2) work? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-10 12:09:06] a dot schilder at gmx dot net Perhaps it has to do with bug #48485. The default value for "session.use_only_cookies" has been changed to "1" in PHP 5.3, which IMHO can lead to interesting results with "session.use_cookies" set to "0"... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-06-10 11:58:18] mail at julian-stier dot de Description: ------------ I use xampp with php-5.3-win32-VC9-x86-latest.zip (10-06-2009). When I restart the apache (xampp-control), my application runs on a first visit. Sometimes it it possible to reload the page or click on a link with a similar code. Eventually (after 1-3 reloads) the application "crashs". The page loads and loads, but never finishs (I think I have no max_execution_time ..). I developed the script with php-5.3.0RC2-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip (15-06-2009) and when I found out, that session_start() is the reason for the crash, I updated it to php-5.3-win32-VC9-x86-latest.zip (10-06-2009) .. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_start(); echo 'Hello World'; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Hello World Actual result: -------------- [no output, loads and loads ..] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48516&edit=1
