From: leef@sdc-moses.com Operating system: Windows 2000/XP PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: follow up bug 16043, $_SESSION can't use in PHP 4.1.2, PHP 4.2.0RC1 I seem to have configuration problems....i just can't seem to get session variables written to in files under win2000, NTFS w/ Apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.1.2 ......i've already done everything from session_start() on every page to making var global....anybody can help?? thanks....btw, i got the same system on a Linux box running apache and php and it works fine.... sample of my code: <? session_start(); global $user_id; if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) { $_SESSION['user_id'] = "someone"; print false; } else { print $_SESSION['user_id']; print true; } ?> Apparently under the bug report database for bug number 16043, my exactly problem was described. According to the PHP team, this windows/apache1.3.23/php4.1.2 session not writing to file bug has been fixed in the 4.2.0RC1 binaries. I've patched my php4apache.dll with the ones from 4.2.0RC1 AND it still doesn't work!!! Anyone who used 4.2.0RC1 came across this problem and made it work? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16435&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16435&r=submittedtwice
