ID: 16102 Updated by: zimba@hotmale.com Reported By: martin_jones@bigfoot.com Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows 2000/XP PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Fix it and release a new version or at least make a note on the downloadpage. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-19 00:39:08] webdevguy1@yahoo.com After reading more posts on this subject, I went back and put some debug code into my application. I see now that the POST variables are fine; the difficulty is with the session variables. The problem appears to be somewhere in php4ts.dll, which is copied to \WINNT\system32 as part of the installation. I mentioned earlier that the version from the link in http://www.zend.com/zend/week/week77.php was OK. The link on that page is now dead. I'm running: Apache_1.3.23-Mod_SSL_2.8.7-OpenSSL_0.9.6c Windows 2000 Pro SP2 + pre-SP3 updates PHP running as module (php4apache.dll); no CGI MySQL 4.0.1-alpha-win This problem with session variables is a big deal, but there is no warning on the download page for Windows users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-18 01:49:39] martin_jones@bigfoot.com FYI: Running Win2K Professional and IIS. PHP running as the php.exe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-17 16:38:08] fseesink@usa.net This looks similar to what's posted for 16043. In a nutshell, session variables aren't being stored/updated in v4.1.2. When posting, it may help the PHP developers to provide info such as webserver config (e.g., IIS using PHP CGI, Apache using php4apache.dll, etc.). For example, in BUG#16043, it seemed everyone was using Apache (mostly the latest version, v1.3.23). Both SAPI module & CGI version seem to be affected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-16 21:35:49] DaveLowe@DaveLowe.net Here's a pretty simple test case, hopefully it's the same problem: index.php <? session_start(); $_SESSION['testone'] = 1; $_SESSION['testtwo'] = 2; ?> <html> <head> <title>Test Home Page</title> </head> <body> <? echo 'testone = '.$_SESSION['testone'].'<br>'; echo 'testtwo = '.$_SESSION['testtwo'].'<br><br>'; ?> <a href="./test.php">Go to test</a> </body> </html> test.php <? session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> </head> <body> <? echo 'testone = '.$_SESSION['testone'].'<br>'; echo 'testtwo = '.$_SESSION['testtwo']; ?> </body> </html> Output from index.php: testone = 1 testtwo = 2 and the link Output from test.php after clicking on the link: Warning: Undefined index: testone in c:\htdocs\ebbs\test.php on line 9 testone = Warning: Undefined index: testtwo in c:\htdocs\ebbs\test.php on line 10 testtwo = Hopefully everything is valid, but things had been working fine prior to upgrading to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-16 00:06:27] yohgaki@php.net This will be fixed in 4.2.0, probably. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
