Bug #8989 Updated: Bug#5493 resurfaced

ID: 8989 User Update by: fseesink@usa.net Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: *Session related Operating system: Windows NT 4 SP5/IIS4 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Description: Bug#5493 resurfaced I have not tried the latest snapshots. I tend to wait for point releases to retest. Unfortunately I do not have that much time to keep retesting with the nightly builds, etc. When 4.0.6 is released, I will test with that. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-14 23:18:19] sniper@php.net Does this happen with latest snapshot from http://www.zend.com/snapshots/ ?? There have been some fixes regarding this. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-07 23:45:32] fseesink@usa.net Note I have not tested the ISAPI modules in the last few releases, so I cannot state whether they work or not. I only know that the CGI modules since v4.0.3pl1 are again demonstrating a failure to properly store session files. In the past it seemed that the CGI module's development was performed first, then the ISAPI module. I got tired of having issues with the ISAPI module and decided for the duration to stick to just using the CGI module. If that trend has somehow reversed or if the ISAPI module is now on par with the CGI module both stability and functions-wise, then please let me know. I would like to switch over to the ISAPI module as it supposed to offer increased performance. However, I will take stability over performance any day. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-07 23:41:34] fseesink@usa.net Yes, the problem still exists in the v.4.0.5 CGI module. PLEASE resolve this issue if possible, as I am still forced to use v4.0.3pl1 if I wish to use PHP4 session variables. This bug was resolved and session variables working up thru v4.0.3pl1. With every release since, however, this problem has persisted once again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-22 21:11:37] sbergmann@php.net Does this problem persist with a recent version of PHP 4 (like latest CVS or PHP 4.0.5)? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-29 18:06:15] fseesink@usa.net v4.0.4pl1 CGI version, with or without v1 of Zend Optimizer, is once again demonstrating similar session file generation as I reported earlier in BUG #5493. It looks like an old bug has snuck back in the code. I believe BUG #8912 also relates to same issue. Note I have not yet tested the ISAPI module. Using the same script as in BUG #5493, I am now seeing similar, though not the same activity. Firing up a new browser, here is what I am seeing as I load the pages Page1.PHP thru Page4.PHP IN ORDER: 1. Page1 creates sessionid file 2. Page2 updates initial file fine 3. Page3 -"- 4. Page4 creates new sessionid file (size 0 bytes, as will be all sessionid files from this point on). From this point on, we will never get valid session data again, just as before with this bug. 5. Page1 creates new sessionid file 6. Page2-3 no new file 7. Page4-1 create new files 8. Page2-3 no new file 9. Page 4-1 create new files 10. Page2 no new file 11. Page3-4 create new files *PATTERN CHANGE 12. Page1-2 no new file 13. Page3-4 create new files 14. ***Steps #12-13 repeat 5x *** 15. Page1 creates new file 16. Page2-3 no new file 17. Page4 new file The pattern seems to fluctuate back and forth between Page4-1 creating new sessionid files and then Page3-4 creating sessionid files. I suspect whatever was at the root of BUG #5493 will likely be the cause here as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
