Updated by: williedeath@disco.at
Reported By: tokimeki@pchome.com.tw
Status: Closed
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 4.1.2
New Comment:
Isn't this important enough to make a new binary release for those
without MSVC or new users that probably will get very confused when
sessionmanagement isn't working.
Just an idea. I think that you will be loosing some new users
otherwise.

Oops, this is fixed in CVS and will be fixed in 4.2.0 also.

I can confirm this with w2ksp2 + apache 1.3.23

Sample scripts to show symptoms.
The following script shows that NO session data is stored when you use
the new $_SESSION variables only as described in the PHP manual:
__________________________________________________
<html><head><title>Simple PHP Session Test</title></head>
<body>
Testing PHP Sessions...<p>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
session_start();
echo "Values at start of script:<br>";
foreach($_SESSION as $key => $value) {
echo "\$_SESSION['$key'] => '$value'<br>";
}
//Set/Increment Counter
if ( !array_key_exists('counter', $_SESSION) ) {
$_SESSION['counter'] = 0;
} else {
$_SESSION['counter']++;
}
echo "Values at end of script:<br>";
foreach($_SESSION as $key => $value) {
echo "\$_SESSION['$key'] => '$value'<br>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
__________________________________________________
And the modified version of this script uses the older
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS variable along with session_register(), to show that
session_register() creates the initial instance of a session variable,
but no updates occur after that. This is the best I've been able to do
with sessions in 4.1.2, so it's pretty useless at this point.

}
//Set/Increment Counter
if ( !array_key_exists('counter', $HTTP_SESSION_VARS) ) {
$counter = 0;
session_register('counter');
} else {
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['counter']++;
}
echo "Values at end of script:<br>";
foreach($HTTP_SESSION_VARS as $key => $value) {
echo "\$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['$key'] => '$value'<br>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

P.S. For what it's worth, session files ARE created in the
session.save_path directory, but other than the latter script, the
files are always 0 bytes and completely empty. Hope this helps track
down the bug.

Also applies to NT 4.0 (sp6a) both Module and CGI $_SESSION
and also $HTTP_SESSION_VARS are dead. From what I can tell
the sess files get created in tmp ok, however nothing ever
gets written to it.

thank you for reply...
I test the $_SESSION use those 3 PHP file...
1.php
===============================
<?php
session_start();
echo '<a href=2.php>TEST</a>';
echo '<hr>SESSION<br>';
foreach($_SESSION as $k => $v)
echo "$k => $v<br>";
$_SESSION['a']='a';
?>
===============================
2.php
===============================
<?php
session_start();
echo '<a href=3.php>TEST</a>';
echo '<hr>SESSION<br>';
foreach($_SESSION as $k => $v)
echo "$k => $v<br>";
$_SESSION['b']='b';
?>
===============================
3.php
===============================
<?php
session_start();
echo '<a href=1.php>TEST</a>';
echo '<hr>SESSION<br>';
foreach($_SESSION as $k => $v)
echo "$k => $v<br>";
$_SESSION['c']='c';
?>
===============================
very simple...
I like use PHP 4.1.x new features($_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION... etc), so
I care about the $_SESSION can right work!
