#25387 [Com]: session_start() always creates new session

ID: 25387 Comment by: phpfrost at frost-web dot de Reported By: alex at rapidfans dot at Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: windows xp PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: I reconsturuated the problem with the Session_id. I found out that "session_start" generates a new session_id every time, if the session.cookie_path-parameter in the php.ini is not set up right. Look at your php.ini-File. If the session_cookie_path-parameter is set up to session.cookie_path = / , all things are right. If there is another value than '/', this could be the reason for the problem.
