ID: 34616 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: djmaze at cpgnuke dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.0.5 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Please, read the manual and the php.ini-dist file for explanations WHAT those options do and don't. These have nothing to do with the session life time.

Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_name('CMSSESSID'); session_start(); header('Date: '.date('D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T', time())); header('Cache-Control: private, pre-check=0, post-check=0, max-age=0'); if (!isset($_SESSION['test'])) { echo '<form action="'.$_SELF.'" method="post"><textarea name="form"></textarea><input type="submit"></form>'; } else { echo 'session is valid and data is posted'; } ?> Expected result: ---------------- After waiting for 30 minutes to post the data: session is valid and data is posted Actual result: -------------- The formfield ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34616&edit=1
