#38085 [Opn->Bgs]: session_regenerate_id() clashes with session.save_path

ID: 38085 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: ralph at smashlabs dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.6 series PHP Version: 5.1.4 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The bottom line is that you should not use relative paths as they can be affected by internal directory change. Therefor throwing you out of the expected directory path resulting in the errors you've encountered. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-13 05:43:30] ralph at smashlabs dot com Thanks for the quick response. For both 5.1.4 and 5.2 that script works fine if I use a full path from root, eg: /home/ralph/dev/application/var/sessions (including with a trailing slash too). In both 5.1.4 and 5.2 the problem persists when you use a relative path. Can you not reproduce this? Shall I post some INI info? While not super high priority, in a bootstrapped type framework based envoirment, it would be nice to be able to use relative paths for portablity reasons. Thanks again.

Have you tried changing ../application/var/sessions to a full path? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-12 21:59:44] ralph at smashlabs dot com Description: ------------ I have not dug super deep into this problem but it seems as though if I try to call session_regenerate_id() after having set session.save_path with custom values, i get an error. My guess is that session_regenerate_id() is having issues with the save_path var. See rest below: Reproduce code: --------------- This is my test script: file: ../htdocs/test.php <? ini_set("session.save_path", ";666;../application/var/sessions"); session_start(); $id_before = session_id(); if ((++$_SESSION['counter'] % 5) == 0) { session_regenerate_id(true); } echo "<pre>SESSION ID BEFORE: " . $id_before . "\n"; echo "SESSION ID AFTER : " . session_id(); echo "COUNTER : " . $_SESSION['counter']; ?> Expected result: ---------------- The first 5 times it runs, it works fine... which means the file was created with the proper permissions and at the proper location. On the 5th run, I should not see any errors. Only the before and after Session ID AND there should be a file in the directory with the old session data... Counter should never start over. Actual result: -------------- SESSION ID BEFORE: 1e1469055dd81c95fb78aafde667639a SESSION ID AFTER : a51b257a22da32065a0bef114abac7c7 COUNTER : 5 Warning: Unknown: open(../application/var/sessions/sess_a51b257a22da32065a0bef114abac7c7, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (;666;../application/var/sessions) in Unknown on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38085&edit=1
