PHP 4.0 Bug #5493 Updated: Both ISAPI & CGI modules in 4.0.1pl2 exhibit errors with session ids

ID: 5493 User Update by: fseesink@usa.net Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Description: Both ISAPI & CGI modules in 4.0.1pl2 exhibit errors with session ids Sorry, meant to include this but didn't want to clutter things up since it's so long. But for completeness here ya go, the PHP.INI file, which should put the issue of session.save_path to bed, among other things: ____________________________________________________________ [PHP] ; NOTE: Search for '***' to find modifications ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; About this file ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order). ; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory. The ; path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overriden using ; the -c argument in command line mode. ; ; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines ; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed). ; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though ; they might mean something in the future. ; ; Directives are specified using the following syntax: ; directive = value ; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar. ; ; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one ; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression ; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo"). ; ; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses: ; | bitwise OR ; & bitwise AND ; ~ bitwise NOT ; ; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes. ; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No. ; ; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal ; sign, or by using the None keyword: ; ; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string ; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string ; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none' ; ; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a dynamically ; loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension), you may only ; use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension. ; ; All the values in the php.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin ; defaults (that is, if no php.ini is used, or if you delete these lines, ; the builtin defaults will be identical). ; To create an 'optimized', PHP 4-style version of the php.ini-dist file, ; we need to create different values for several directives, in order to ; improve performance, while possibly breaking compatibility with the ; standard out-of-the-box behavior of PHP 3. Please make sure you read ; what's different, and modify your scripts accordingly, if you decide to use ; these features instead (which is recommended!) ; ; - allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off ; It's not possible to decide to force a variable to be passed by reference ; when calling a function. The PHP 4 style to do this is by making the ; function require the relevant argument by reference. ; - register_globals = Off ; Global variables are no longer registered for input data (POST, GET, ; cookies, environment and other server variables). Instead of using $foo, ; you must use $HTTP_POST_VARS["foo"], $HTTP_GET_VARS["foo"], ; $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["foo"], $HTTP_ENV_VARS["foo"] or ; $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["foo"], depending on which kind of input source you're ; expecting 'foo' to come from. ; - register_argc_argv = Off ; Disables registration of the somewhat redundant $argv and $argc global ; variables. ; - magic_quotes_gpc = Off ; Input data is no longer escaped with slashes so that it can be sent into ; SQL databases without further manipulation. Instead, you should use the ; function addslashes() on each input element you wish to send to a ; database. ; - variables_order = "GPCS" ; The environment variables are not hashed into the $HTTP_ENV_VARS[]. To ; access environment variables, you can use getenv() instead. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Language Options ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; engine = On ; Enable the PHP scripting language engine ; under Apache short_open_tag = On ; allow the <? tag. otherwise, only <?php ; and <script> tags are recognized. asp_tags = On ; *** MODIFIED from 'Off' *** ; allow ASP-style <% %> tags precision = 14 ; number of significant digits displayed in ; floating point numbers y2k_compliance = Off ; whether to be year 2000 compliant (will ; cause problems with non y2k compliant ; browsers) output_buffering = Off ; Output buffering allows you to send header ; lines (including cookies) even after you ; send body content, in the price of slowing ; PHP's output layer a bit. ; You can enable output buffering by in ; runtime by calling the output buffering ; functions, or enable output buffering for ; all files by setting this directive to On. implicit_flush = Off ; Implicit flush tells PHP to tell the output ; layer to flush itself automatically after ; every output block. This is equivalent to ; calling the PHP function flush() after each ; and every call to print() or echo() and ; each and every HTML block. ; Turning this option on has serious ; performance implications, and is generally ; recommended for debugging purposes only. allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off ; *** MODIFIED from 'On' *** ; whether to enable the ability to force ; arguments to be passed by reference at ; function-call time. This method is ; deprecated, and is likely to be unsupported ; in future versions of PHP/Zend. The ; encouraged method of specifying which ; arguments should be passed by reference is ; in the function declaration. You're ; encouraged to try and turn this option Off, ; and make sure your scripts work properly ; with it, to ensure they will work with ; future versions of the language (you will ; receive a warning each time you use this ; feature, and the argument will be passed by ; value instead of by reference). ; Safe Mode safe_mode = Off safe_mode_exec_dir = safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_ ; Setting certain environment variables may ; be a potential security breach. This ; directive contains a comma-delimited list ; of prefixes. In Safe Mode, the user may ; only alter environment variables whose ; names begin with the prefixes supplied ; here. ; By default, users will only be able ; to set environment variables that begin ; with PHP_ (e.g. PHP_FOO=BAR). ; Note: If this directive is empty, PHP ; will let the user modify ANY environment ; variable! safe_mode_protected_env_vars = LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; This directive contains a comma-delimited ; list of environment variables, that the end ; user won't be able to change using ; putenv().
