Req #69394 [Opn]: SessionHandler should not used previously defined save handler as its base class

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69394&edit=1 ID: 69394 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported by: deivid dot garcia dot garcia at gmail dot com -Summary: session.save_handler incorrectly reported +Summary: SessionHandler should not used previously defined save handler as its base class Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Session related Operating System: any PHP Version: any -Assigned To: +Assigned To: yohgaki Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: First of all, previously used save handler should not be used as base of SessionHandler. It's only useful to override save/write operation for encryption and/or session data serialization. I would like to remove feature that SessionHandler object uses previous save handler as base class. To do that, we need "user defined serialize handler". There is implementation for this already. This feature was not implemented because of register_globals when session module is implemented.

I can understand that this will happen when using a custom class that implements SessionHandlerInterface or directly passing custom methods to session_set_save_handler, but because we are wrapping over the underlying handler it would be better to report the original session.save_handler when doing an ini_get(). This could be further improved while keeping current behaviour if SessionHandlerInterface exposed a property or function where the Handler could report its name. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69394&edit=1
