Bug #8989 Updated: Bug#5493 resurfaced

ID: 8989 User Update by: fseesink@usa.net Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: *Session related Operating system: Windows NT 4 SP5/IIS4 PHP Version: 4.0.5 Description: Bug#5493 resurfaced What is this, the Microsoft approach to dealing with bugs? You have no evidence if the problem is resolved, yet you close out the problem anyway. Burying your head in the sand doesn't make the issue go away. I'm sorry, but you don't close a problem until a resolution is found and the fix confirmed. There is a session bug, which existed in early 4.0 releases, was then fixed, and is now broken again. The last working version of PHP for Windows that did sessions properly was 4.0.3pl1, and nothing thus far indicates that this issue has been resolved since then. I have updated the PHP Version for you to reflect the problem still exists in 4.0.5, the latest release most users would touch. Most PHP users are not about to touch nightly CVS builds. That's why you HAVE point releases like 4.0.3pl1, 4.0.4, 4.0.5, etc. This problem should remain open until it can be confirmed that the bug is fixed.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
