ID: 16263 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: kur@natur.cuni.cz Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: When updating PHP, remember to always replace the php4ts.dll with the one found in the release package. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-06 01:06:10] timebreaker@newmail.ru Experiencing the same on Win98/Apache1.3.24/PHP4.1.2... Looks like it's really a bug of 4.1.x (?) since I have 4.0.6 and it works fine. By using session_register("var") I can force it to create "var" record in the session data file, but it does not save any value after the variable name. The bug is serious, please, make some feedback on it... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 04:36:32] derick@php.net Nothing changed between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, but you can try php-4.2.0rc1 from www.php.net/~derick if you want. Please report back if this fixes the problem.

It has been removed from php.net and I can't seem to find it anywhere else. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-25 10:27:44] kur@natur.cuni.cz When calling function session_start() in 4.1.2 version, it creates new empty file in session.save_path. In version 4.1.1 it was OK, after installing new version this does not work, even if php.ini is the same. print_r($_SESSION) gets empty array. I have register_globals off and using only $_SESSION, $_GET, .... vars my php.ini: session.save_handler = files session.save_path = c:\program files\php\tmp session.use_cookies = 1 session.name = PHPSESSID session.auto_start = 0 session.cookie_lifetime = 0 session.cookie_path = / session.cookie_domain = burcin.natur.cuni.cz session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.referer_check = session.entropy_length = 0 session.entropy_file = session.cache_limiter = nocache session.cache_expire = 0 session.use_trans_sid = 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16263&edit=1
