Bug #11403 Updated: calling session_start with protected images sends bogus headers

ID: 11403 User Update by: bondu@iowalab.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Session related Operating system: linux PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Description: calling session_start with protected images sends bogus headers adding Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg"); does NOT fix the problem. copy the "fixed" script to a new file name, and see that it does not work. you are looking at cached version. IE will cache the mimetype info associated with the image even if you clear your history. I am able to reproduce this consistantly on multiple machines Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-12 01:45:23] sniper@php.net This works: <? session_start(); $filename = "test.jpg"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "rb"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); Header ("Content-type: image/jpeg"); echo $contents; ?> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-06-11 14:12:23] bondu@iowalab.com This script works as expected: <? $filename = "someimage.jpg"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "rb"); echo $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); ?> Adding sesion start sends bogus header infromation that makes IE think the file is a bitmap. When right clicking on the image, IE thinks the file is of type .bmp and the Protocol is HTML. Does the same thing for all image types. Adding header information in the script does not fix the problem, nor does setting default_mimetype to the "image/jpeg" in the script. I was able to reproduce this on 4 different linux machines running 4.0.2, 4.0.4p1, and 4.0.5 <? session_start(); $filename = "someimage.jpg"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "rb"); echo $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); ?> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11403
