ID: 25574 User updated by: markus.welsch@suk.de Reported By: markus dot welsch at suk dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.4.22 (Debian 3.0r1) PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: Well it does NOT write to a file if a path is given and it should save to cookies like described, so why do you require to set this ? Either the PHP itself or the documentation should be updated at least :-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 18:34:33] iliaa@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php How can you expect sessions to work if PHP cannot safe the corresponding session data? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 10:17:20] markus dot welsch at suk dot de Of course you have to reload after the 1st execution otherwise it's of no use :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 10:04:51] markus dot welsch at suk dot de Description: ------------ When using sessions and having session.save_path to an empty value the session data won't be saved - even if session.use_only_cookies = 1 When session.save_path is specified it works fine. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_name("test"); session_start(); print "Session-ID: ".session_id()."<br>"; print_r($_SESSION); $_SESSION['test'] = "example"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Session-ID: c0b505ac52883be84dd9681fc6e84c50 Array ( [test] => example ) Actual result: -------------- Session-ID: c0b505ac52883be84dd9681fc6e84c50 Array ( ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25574&edit=1
