ID: 17634 Comment by: zen_kermit@expn.com Reported By: tlewis@communitysoft.net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows NT PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: You PHP developers cant really be that think headed can you??? I've loevd this language for a long time, but this kind of blatant failure is huge!! and to refuse to acknowledge it is taking you more step towards developing ASP. Come on and restore our faith.

This is actually happening to me too. PHP is creating more than one ID on session_start(). It happens when i have an old expired session cookie. If i clear the cookies it works fine. But its still a bug because i cant clear every expired cookie. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-06 18:41:23] sniper@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.

Everytime a session_start() is encountered, PHP creates a new session ID thus losing the value(s) from the preferred session. To reproduce: call the session_start() function, register a variable with session_register('foo'), try and access the variable on a succession page using session_start(), go into where ever directory you are storing your session files. There will be multiple files listed. One having data, the other(s) being empty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17634&edit=1
