PHP 4.0 Bug #5965: Transparent session ID doesn't work with certain <form name="..."> combinations

From: gregor.maier@newlogic.com Operating system: SunOS 2.5.1 PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Transparent session ID doesn't work with certain &lt;form name="..."&gt; combinations I am using session management with transparent session IDs. The SID is only sometimes added to the URL when using a form with a name element. If the SID is added depends on the order in which the elements are used. This line doesn't work (SID is NOT added to the action-URL) <form name="myform" action="myscript.php4" method="post"> But the following line works <form action="myscript.php4" name="myform" method="post"> <!-- Here's a longer example --> <tr> <td> <form name="testme_form" action="session01.php4" method="post"> <input name="text" value="Hello World"> <input type="submit" value="doesnt"> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <form action="session01.php4" name="testme_form2" method="post"> <input name="text" value="Hello World"> <input type="submit" value="works"> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <form name="testme_form3" action="session02.php4" method="post"> <input name="text" value="Hello World"> <input type="submit" value="Doesnt work with 02"> </form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <form action="session02.php4" name="testme_form4" method="post"> <input name="text" value="Hello World"> <input type="submit" value="works with 02"> </form> </td> </tr> <!-- END -->
