#23825 [NEW]: Registering a session fails

From: timmothy dot posey at outdoordecor dot com Operating system: Linux 2.4.20 PHP version: 4.3.2RC4 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Registering a session fails I upgraded my production website(s) to the latest CVS version available as of last Friday (May 23rd). My sites are all PHP based, running osCommerce, a popular open-source shopping cart system. The error happened when you check your cart's contents. Dig deeper into the code and you'll see it will not allow session to register for some reason. The resulting bug will not allow the customer to check out because it will empty the cart. I'm not sure if it empties the cart by registering a new session or what the case may be. I've verified this on a clean install of osCommerce, and 2 other production websites. I didn't have this problem with 4.3.2RC3, only when i upgraded to RC4 and CVS versions did this happen. I reverted back to 4.3.1, since that was the only stable version I could find and the bug does not happen anymore. There are thousands of osCommerce-based websites (and its commercial derivatives) that will probably break if the push to release 4.3.2 continues. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23825&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23825&r=gnused
