 New Comment:

I'm saying it seems wasted to install a whole new installation of PHP
to test 10 lines of code, when someone with it already installed could
test it in like 3 minutes for me and point me in the right direction. 


And noone said anything about you having to prove anything, I just
expected maybe you'd have some common courtesy and either point out
where it had been fixed, or test yourself to see if it had been fixed. 
You took like 3 seconds to look at the 4.0.6 and just dismissed it. 
That's sad and unprofessional.

Be that as it may, I'll play that game.  I'll waste my time to install
the latest and greatest from PHP, and when I get the same problem, I
expect to have some more decency shown toward a loyal and well-versed
supporter of the language.

This is not a tech support system.  This is a bug system.  It is up to
you to prove to us that there is a bug and not up to us to prove to you
that there isn't a bug.  Why is it hard for you to test your "simple"
scripts on a recent version of PHP?  Are you saying that you don't have
a single development machine on which you can install the latest PHP
and test this stuff yourself?  If so, that is definitely not our
problem.

How can you call this a useful system if you all take the easy way to
answer everyone's question?

As I figured, you guys didn't read the whole thing. I specifically
stated at the beginning that even though I was on an older version,
others have had this problem in later versions, and the problem does
not appear to have been identified or fixed in the change log or in the
bug system.  I read every single post under the session bugs (took me
like 6 hours) and saw nothing that specifically dealt with my problem.


That's a canned response and a cop-out for you to just blame it on an
old version of PHP unless you can tell me where its documented that it
was fixed in a later version.  Since I already told you in my post that
I have a logisitcal problem that prevents me from just simply upgrading
right now, I think if you are so convinced it was fixed it would be
nice and helpful if you would test the 2 very simple scripts on your
updated version and see if you get the same thing as I do.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.

As the report page tells you, upgrade first.

I should also mention that if you were to just open two seperate IE
windows, and load myscriptA into one and myscriptB into the other, they
DO function seperately, and so the sessions are not automatically
spanned.

My ultimate goal is to have a way to have a session aware page launch a
new window (that can also be session aware, with its own new session)
that does NOT share the original window's session.

Everything I read seems that the intent is there to be able to
on-demand create new sessions, and it stands to perfect reason that one
might want to decide at some point in their PHP code that they wanted
to break from any current session data (in cookies, memory, etc) and
make a new session entry.
