#32065 [Opn->Csd]: session_start() ALWAYS makes a new session

ID: 32065 User updated by: mikegmarshall at hotmail dot com Reported By: mikegmarshall at hotmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000 IIS5 PHP Version: 5.0.3 New Comment: I am a very experienced IT Support/Software Engineer...I spend all day telling people to "get the latest updates"...you would think I would listen to my own advice wouldn't ya :) I did all the updates at windowsupdate.com - no idea which one fixed it, but there were about 15. One of them did it. *hangs head in shame* Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-02-22 15:06:34] mikegmarshall at hotmail dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32065&edit=1
