#20776 [Opn]: Login only possible from page where login is required.

ID: 20776 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: judd@ob-wan.com Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Win2K Server PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: hmm... maybe Sniper should start charging for support then; he would make a very decent living out out it with all the time he spends on verifying bugs and trying to help people with bugs. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 04:52:02] judd@ob-wan.com Sniper, I have spent hours cutting out 90% of this program, removing libraries called, writing a script to autoinstall the tiny test database, written installation instructions and supplied two different versions of the main page - one which works, one which does not - and cut the whole thing down to six actual php files. Not twenty or even ten. And I finished doing that at 5:00am today, as you know. Some problems can't be reduced to 12 lines of code. In this case, the login has to come from two different pages and go to another one, that makes at least three files. The fourth is a library, which you can safely ignore. The fifth is a logout script, without which you can only test it once. The sixth is a file included globally in each of the others to cut down verbosity. If this is too complex, perhaps you expect me to actually fix your bugs for you. Sorry, I charge AU$100 an hour for that nowadays, having already paid my dues on a number of large GPL projects. Keep the bug, I don't mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 01:51:01] sniper@php.net And DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL!! And especially: DO NOT email me! You can put such long examples somewhere in the net and add an URL here so that other people see it too.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 01:49:45] sniper@php.net I did mean _SHORT_ example script, one that is max 10-20 lines long..not some 10-20 files! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-03 12:00:23] judd@ob-wan.com OK, I've sent a cutdown of the program, hope that helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-03 07:31:53] judd@ob-wan.com I've already reported a crashing bug against 4.3.0RC2 so I won't be trying any CVS snapshots just yet. See what I can do about a sample script, but it may be a couple days since I'm working in about 6 hrs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
