#24131 [Opn->Fbk]: session_start() warns about failed read

ID: 24131 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: meat at reed dot edu -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.2.16-22 SMP PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: What is the session.save_path set to? And on what kind of partition does that exist? (never seen this before, might be something broken in your system..) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-11 13:17:49] meat at reed dot edu This problem first occurred for me on PHP 4.3.2, and installing the CVS snapshot for 6-10-2003 did not help. When calling session_start() for the first time, in a script as simple as this one: <?php session_start(); ?> This warning appears in the browser: Warning: session_start(): read failed: Value too large for defined data type (75) in /usr/local/httpd/webapp/ html/tools/lib/std.php on line 19 Line 19 in the above script is simply "session_start()". If I preface the call with an @ to turn off warnings/errors, then the script works as intended. If I remove the @ while the session is active, the error is not given, but as soon as I log out (i.e. call session_destroy()), it comes back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24131&edit=1
