Bug #54534 [NEW]: Sessions fail when running PHP as multiple users

From: Operating system: Debian PHP version: trunk-SVN-2011-04-14 (snap) Package: Session related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Sessions fail when running PHP as multiple users Description: ------------ I'm running a website on which PHP runs as multiple different users on the operating system, and I'm encountering problems when a visitor to the site goes from a part where PHP runs as one user to another part where PHP runs as another user. Since PHP saves all sessions in one directory, it will attempt to load the same session data as long as the visitor uses the same SID. When the session was created by one user, it cannot be loaded by another. That is of course, in itself, as it should. I would argue, however, that the session filenames should contain the UID of the user running PHP, so as to remove such conflicts. The resultant behavior is probably reasonable, as the different users running PHP will most likely not want to share session data with each other. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54534&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54534&r=mysqlcfg
