Bug #16980: session_start() somtimes ignores "session.use_cookies=1" in php.ini

From: php@lowgradepain.com Operating system: Linux 2.2.20 PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session_start() somtimes ignores "session.use_cookies=1" in php.ini It appears that the first script I hit on a site where session_start() is invoked causes the ?PHPSESSID=xxxxx in the URL, even though my php.ini file specifies: session.use_cookies = 1 After that first page, the session continues to work but the URL no longer contains the PHPSESSID parameter. This has not been the case in previous installations of PHP on the same server. I just recently upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.2.0 and this issue began. php config line: ./configure' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.23' '--prefix=/usr/local/pkg/php-4.2.0' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--with-imap=../imap-2001.BETA.SNAP-0106252013' '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' '--enable-trackvars' '--disable-debug' -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16980&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16980&r=submittedtwice
