Bug #10732 Updated: Storage of session variable fails

ID: 10732 User Update by: Paul_Kroll@hotmail.com Old-Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: *Session related Operating system: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.5 Description: Storage of session variable fails Not only could I not reproduce this locally from the snapshot of 4.0.6, but I couldn't from a local 4.0.5. But the problem was definitely happening on my web hosting company, which just recently had upgraded to 4.0.5... finally, I did a session_destroy() at the end of the previous test, and on refresh, everything worked fine. Is the 4.0.5 serialized/session format subtley different from the 4.0.4 format? Seems to from this result. In any case, it does not appear to be a bug in the CODE, though it may be a "lack of documentation of a change that'll cause hair-pulling" bug. :) Safe to close I think.
