Bug #16202 Updated: session variables not getting set

ID: 16202 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: mikah@ceruleansoftware.com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: win 2000 pro PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: When you upgrade PHP (or downgrade) remember to ALWAYS replace all the files from previous installations with the new files found in the new package. Including php4ts.dll. Also check that you don't have duplicates of these files in your system. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 16:01:20] jason@peaceworks.ca I'm having the same issue, and have just confirmed that this problem is _not_ fixed as of PHP 4.2.0RC4. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-02 09:43:11] yohgaki@php.net Could you try 4.2.0RC1? Please visit http://qa.php.net/ for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 10:37:50] fseesink@usa.net See problems #16043 & #16102. Same issue. In a nutshell, sessions are broke in v4.1.2, and they say it'll be fixed in v4.2.0. You may not have found these problems before posting this one due to the search page default of only looking for 'Open' problems. #16043 has been closed (they apparently close problems when its fixed in the head CVS branch, NOT when they put out a new release), and #16102 is tagged as 'analyzed', though in #16102 the same PHP developer said it will 'be fixed in 4.2.0, probably.' Please don't shoot the messenger. Just wanted you all to know you are not alone. Sessions are broken in 4.1.2, there are several bug reports effectively showing this, and there appear to be many people hurting without proper session support. For now, our options appear to be 1. Run 4.1.2 and suffer no session support 2. Run 4.1.1, have session support, and risk the security issues. (Though this may be mitigated by running the SAPI module vs. the CGI. Still issues, but not as severe from what I understand.) 3. Download the latest CVS & "roll your own" if you have the tools/skill/etc. to do so. 4. Download the 4.2.0 Release Candidate if you're not in a production environment & don't mind being a guinea pig. If you haven't seen yet, they're aiming for 22 Apr 2002 for the v4.2.0 release. I wait with breathless anticipation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 05:58:03] chippyho@maildozy.com Sorry.. here this is my code. <? // Chippyho & Tuna session_start() ; session_register('a','b','c') ; if(isset($_SESSION[a])) { $_SESSION[a]++ ; } else { $_SESSION[a] = 0 ; } if(isset($b)){ $b++ ; } else { $b=0; } if(isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[c])){ $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[c]++; }else { $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[c] =0; } echo '$_SESSION[a] = ' . $_SESSION[a] ; echo '<br>$b = ' . $b ; echo '<br>$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[c] = ' . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[c] ; echo '<br><br><a href="'.$PHP_SELF .'">Click</a>' ; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-21 05:47:33] chippyho@maildozy.com I have the same problem .
