ID: 9198 Updated by: andre Reported By: jj@comberg.cz Old-Status: Suspended Status: Feedback Bug Type: *Session related Assigned To: Comments: Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-10 04:41:57] jj@comberg.cz This is my session configuration: session.save_handler = files ; handler used to store/retrieve data session.save_path = /tmp ; argument passed to save_handler ; in the case of files, this is the ; path where data files are stored session.use_cookies = 1 ; whether to use cookies session.name = PHPSESSID ; name of the session ; is used as cookie name session.auto_start = 1 ; initialize session on request startup session.cookie_lifetime = 0 ; lifetime in seconds of cookie ; or if 0, until browser is restarted session.cookie_path = / ; the path the cookie is valid for session.cookie_domain = ; the domain the cookie is valid for session.serialize_handler = php ; handler used to serialize data ; php is the standard serializer of PHP session.gc_probability = 1 ; percentual probability that the ; 'garbage collection' process is started ; on every session initialization session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 ; after this number of seconds, stored ; data will be seen as 'garbage' and ; cleaned up by the gc process session.referer_check = ; check HTTP Referer to invalidate ; externally stored URLs containing ids session.entropy_length = 0 ; how many bytes to read from the file session.entropy_file = ; specified here to create the session id ; session.entropy_length = 16 ; session.entropy_file = /dev/urandom session.cache_limiter = nocache ; set to {nocache,private,public} to ; determine HTTP caching aspects session.cache_expire = 180 ; document expires after n minutes session.use_trans_sid = 1 ; use transient sid support if enabled ; by compiling with --enable-trans-sid --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-09 18:09:10] cnewbill@php.net Can you include the [Session] section from your php.ini file? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-09 18:02:13] jj@comberg.cz My application used to run PHPLIB for the sake of session variables. After migrating to PHP4, I made it use the PHP4 integreted session support (using cookies) and it seems to be working fine for most of the time. Nevertheless, it will ocassionally loose the infromation contained within the session and get all active users disconnected and unable to log in again for a while. I cannot say when it is going to happen again (it is unpredictable) but the fact is that it happens...
