ID: 20961 Comment by: JeanFrederic@Loiseau.org Reported By: mthornton@wei.cc Status: Feedback Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Linux/Windows PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: I have the same issue, but under Windows XP. I have tried Php version 4.3 (latest), but this issue still exist... Is there a workaround ? thanks in advance, Jean-Frederic Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-12 09:53:59] iliaa@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-12 09:53:01] mthornton@wei.cc function get_session_decode($sessStr) { if ($sessStr) { session_decode($sessStr); unset($sessStr); $vars = get_defined_vars(); return $vars; } //if } //func The following function should return an array of session variables: function get_session_decode($sessStr) { if ($sessStr) { session_decode($sessStr); unset($sessStr); $vars = get_defined_vars(); return $vars; } //if } //func print_r(get_session_decode('TEST|s:7:"testing";')); however session_decode always crashes when you pass it a valid session string. It does not crash if you pass it an invalid session string or an empty/false string. I tried using the function by it self, but it still crashes. No sessions where created at the time (which SHOULD NOT be needed). If you call session_start() first, it does not crash, but does not set any variables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20961&edit=1
