Description:
------------
PHP sometimes does not want to use the sessionID given via GET! This
happens only on some occasions however it is reproducible on such a
certain page. I regret that I cannot post a short code snippet because
it simply does not happen when testing with a short code snippet.
What happens is the following:
- the SID is used as a GET parameter (this works on every other page!)
- $sidname=session_name(); echo $_GET[$sidname] outputs the correct SID
visible in the URL (e.g.
"/search.php?page=2&qid=1&sessionID=1291bfd78301f151803ca632cd41f626")
- however echo session_id() outputs a totally different SID!
- both (old and new) SID files exist and are readable
session.auto_start=0
session.use_cookies=0
session.use_only_cookies=0
session.referer_check=0
I even implemented my own session handler and it appears that PHP does
not even call the OPEN function for the "old" SID that it no longer
wants to use.
I also tried to use the generic PHPSESSID name instead of the custom
"sessionID" by not setting the custom name, but the problem still
exists.
This is my configure line:
'./configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.28'
'--with-mhash=/usr/local/lib' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib'
'--with-zip=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-memory-limit'
'--enable-versioning' '--with-gd' '--enable-exif'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-magic-quotes'
'--enable-thread-safety' '--with-gettext' '--with-xml'
'--with-mcrypt'
'--enable-calendar' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-curl'
'--with-curlwrappers' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-wddx'
