#18962 [Fbk->Bgs]: session_register() does not work

ID: 18962 Updated by: kalowsky@php.net Reported By: hirac.kasapoglu@turkcell.com.tr -Status: Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Tru64 5.1 PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: As per request Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-21 09:14:23] hirac.kasapoglu@turkcell.com.tr You can close this case as Bogus :) Because I tried with different Tru64 5.1 system and it worked. So problem must be local to that system. Best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-21 07:47:32] hirac.kasapoglu@turkcell.com.tr I've discovered following: I have another Tru64 system but has operating system level is 5.1A instead of 5.1. 5.1A is next version of 5.1. I tried with same parameters on Tru64 5.1A and it works!!! Does anybody has any opinion what about 5.1? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-21 02:31:17] hirac.kasapoglu@turkcell.com.tr I managed to compile latest STABLE: php4-STABLE-200208202100 But result is same :( my session options in php.ini is (as default except register_globals) [Session] ; Handler used to store/retrieve data. session.save_handler = files ; Argument passed to save_handler. In the case of files, this is the path ; where data files are stored. Note: Windows users have to change this ; variable in order to use PHP's session functions. session.save_path = /tmp ; Whether to use cookies. session.use_cookies = 1 ; Name of the session (used as cookie name). session.name = PHPSESSID ; Initialize session on request startup. session.auto_start = 0 ; Lifetime in seconds of cookie or, if 0, until browser is restarted. session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; The path for which the cookie is valid. session.cookie_path = / ; The domain for which the cookie is valid. session.cookie_domain = ; Handler used to serialize data. php is the standard serializer of PHP. session.serialize_handler = php ; Percentual probability that the 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization. session.gc_probability = 1 ; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the garbage collection process. session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; Check HTTP Referer to invalidate externally stored URLs containing ids. ; HTTP_REFERER has to contain this substring for the session to be ; considered as valid. session.referer_check = ; How many bytes to read from the file. session.entropy_length = 0 ; Specified here to create the session id. session.entropy_file = ;session.entropy_length = 16 ;session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom ; Set to {nocache,private,public} to determine HTTP caching aspects. session.cache_limiter = nocache ; Document expires after n minutes. session.cache_expire = 180 ; trans sid support is disabled by default. ; Use of trans sid may risk your users security. ; Use this option with caution. ; - User may send URL contains active session ID ; to other person via. email/irc/etc. ; - URL that contains active session ID may be stored ; in publically accessible computer. ; - User may access your site with the same session ID ; always using URL stored in browser's history or bookmarks. session.use_trans_sid = 0 url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=fakeentry" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-20 22:56:09] kalowsky@php.net The three session files are because the session var is being lost. There is nothing wrong with PHP in that sense... thats a local issue. The session_unregister() issue was fixed though in the current cvs HEAD. Your compile issues though are of issue. What did you do to get around them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-20 07:53:00] hirac.kasapoglu@turkcell.com.tr I run following scripts: ## i2.php <?php session_start(); $counter = 1; session_register("counter"); header("Location: /i.php"); ?> ## i.php <?php session_start(); $counter = 0; ### uncomment this to see the difference # session_unregister("counter"); session_register("counter"); unset($counter); $counter = 4; session_register("counter"); header("Location: /i1.php"); ?> ## i1.php <?php session_start(); print $counter; ?> When I run http://xxxx/i2.php On Tru64 there are 3 session files under /tmp. aasdo17.sss.turkcell.tgc#root>cd /tmp aasdo17.sss.turkcell.tgc#root>ls -l total 2 -rw------- 1 nobody system 12 Aug 20 14:45 sess_11623a76ef789a894a11ea31cce5e4c1 -rw------- 1 nobody system 0 Aug 20 14:45 sess_392754fba1927790fe035bcd9e7bd4bb -rw------- 1 nobody system 12 Aug 20 14:45 sess_8b48be57c2a42e9d0c73bbad6ad281e3 But on another (and working) system there are only one session file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
