#32065 [NEW]: session_start() ALWAYS makes a new session

From: mikegmarshall at hotmail dot com Operating system: Windows 2000 IIS5 PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: IIS related Bug description: session_start() ALWAYS makes a new session Description: ------------ When I call session_start() with IIS5, it always creates a new session. I have 2 servers - both with PHP 5.0.3, one with IIS 5 and one with IIS6. php.ini is identical in both (i.e. copied from one to the other). On the IIS6 machine, the SID echoed never changes if I press refresh. On the IIS5 machine it generates a new SID every 1-2 mins of inactivity. I have not yet found a suitable workaround. Reproduce code: --------------- <? session_start(); echo $session_id; ?> Wait 60 secs or so and press refresh - the SID changes. Expected result: ---------------- The sessionid that is echoed should remain the same. Actual result: -------------- The SID changes. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32065&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32065&r=mysqlcfg
