#19882 [Fbk->Opn]: Nonfunctional session_decode()

ID: 19882 User updated by: matt@dfstudios.com Reported By: matt@dfstudios.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Redhat 7.2 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-10-12 New Comment: Yes, session_start() is called in another page. I store the session data string in a local database and pass the session ID from page to page. I should note that I've used these scripts with no problems for MONTHS, I began experiencing crashes yesterday, for no reason I can identify, and it's been all downhill from there. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-12 19:49:26] iliaa@php.net Did you initialize a session by calling session_start() before calling session_decode() ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-12 18:51:03] matt@dfstudios.com This is probably related to the issue described in http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19877. In 4CVs-2002-10-12 session_decode() appears to be non-functional. The function simply does nothing - no values are returned and no variables are set. I have verified that I'm passing the function a properly formatted session data string. register_globals is on. Here's my configure line: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=/root/apache_1.3.27 --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-sid --enable-sigchild --enable-ftp --enable-debug --enable-sockets I'm using the CVS version because I was experiencing the session_decode crash bug with version 4.2.x (see previous bug report - URL given above). Perhaps these two issues are related? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19882&edit=1
