Bug #81025 [NEW]: php 8.0.5

From: Parkhideh at att dot net Operating system: Windows 10 PHP version: 7.4.19 Package: Built-in web server Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php 8.0.5 Description: ------------ --- From manual page: https://php.net/function.session-start --- I read many comments about why a session_start() does not connect. Luckily one of my 8 lines test program did work. The difference was the non-working php file was saved as "UTF-8 with BOM" that made every thing else work but session_start(). Note that on the local PortableApps xampp with php 8.0.3 under Windows 10 session_start() connects correctly. On host www.1and1.com with php 7.4 and 8.05 this problem shows. Frankly I did not know that UTF-8 had a BOM option till now!! Unicode https://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html claims it doesn't, Windows 10 does it anyway. Test script: --------------- Setup php file: <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['keyword'] = 1916; $_SESSION['driverVer'] = "1.1.1"; $CrLf = "\r\n"; echo "<br>PHP version is " . phpversion() . $CrLf; exit; ?> Run file showing the error: <?php session_start(); $q = $_SESSION['keyword']; $v = $_SESSION['driverVer']; $CrLf = "\r\n"; echo "<br>-- $q -- $v -- , PHP version is " . phpversion() . $CrLf; exit; ?> Expected result: ---------------- If the second file is saved as "UTF-8 with BOM"; then on some systems it will generate an error message. Note that the same file saved as UTF-8 is a few bytes smaller, but both will pass the compare text test. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81025&edit=1 -- Fix committed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=globals PHP version support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=phptooold Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=81025&r=mysqlcfg
