PHP 4.0 Bug #2228: Session environment not restored automatically at start of script as per docs

From: kmunn@munn.com Operating system: Red Hat Linux 6.0 on Intel PHP version: 4.0 Beta 2 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: Session environment not restored automatically at start of script as per docs My configuration file says... session.save_handler = files session.save_path = /tmp session.name = PHPSESSID session.auto_start = 1 session.lifetime = 0 session.serialize_handler = php session.gc_probability = 1 session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 But when I register a session variable and set the value, the session variables are not automatically set at the beginning of the next page I hit. However, if I add a call to session_register with *one* of the variable names, *all* the session variables are set in the environment. Workaround is to put one of those session_register calls in every page (yuck) which is what I'm doing in the meantime.
