#25103 [Fbk->Bgs]: Session handling that seg faults apache

ID: 25103 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: tony at tonybibbs dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux (RedHat) PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Session extension does not work with references. Don't use those and everything will be fine. If it crashes, provide a SHORT example script (one php file), max. 20 lines of code. (yes, you can make it shorter) And/or a gdb backtrace.

I have set session.save_handler to user. I have test this using both MySQL and MS SQL Server 2000 on the backend. Running this code can kill one of the Apache process consistently. The short version of what I am doing is I authenticate my app, stick a user object in the session using $_SESSION['user'] = &$userObj; Then later I try to get that object out of the session by using $userObj = &$_SESSION['user']. To get code that reproduces this go here: http://www.tonybibbs.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=5 Reproduce code: --------------- http://www.tonybibbs.com/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=5 Expected result: ---------------- I would expect that on page 2 I would get an instance of the object out of the session Ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25103&edit=1
