Bug #11374 Updated: Browsers other then IE write empty session files to /tmp.

ID: 11374 User Update by: bartjan.buijs@hi-technet.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Session related Operating system: FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE #5 PHP Version: 4.0.5 Description: Browsers other then IE write empty session files to /tmp. We aren't making any progress this way. First, there are many people with empty session files. It isn't just me..... Like you said, it works just fine for me. Not for everybody. I simple can't install new software just like this. There are many sites running on that server. I rather not risk downtime. So, please give me a better reason then, "please try it"!

This works for me just fine as it does for hundreds of other people too. Check your settings. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-12 14:07:15] bartjan.buijs@hi-technet.com Hi, I've tried to get sessions working with version 4.0.1pl2 and version 4.0.5. What is the chance it will work with this release candidate? Isn't there another way to verify this problem? Can you change the description of this bug? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-10 02:52:57] sniper@php.net This works for me just fine with PHP 4.0.6RC3. Could you please try it? You can find it here: http://www.php.net/~andi/php-4.0.6RC3.tar.gz --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-10 01:25:45] bartjan.buijs@hi-technet.com It isn't the browser that causes this behaviour, it's the protocol. When a php script that uses sessions is requested using HTTP/1.0, created session files are empty. When the same script is requested using HTTP/1.1 everything works fine. Sample url: http://www.hi-technet.com/php/count_me.php Sample code: <? session_start(); echo session_id(); if(!isset($count)) { session_register("count"); $count = 1; } else { $count++; } echo "<p>You've been here $count times. Thanks!</p>"; ?> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-09 01:45:41] sniper@php.net And where does IE write them? What do you mean by 'empty session files'? As PHP is server-side, it's a bit impossible to be browser that causes this behaviour. Do you have any short example code of this? --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
