Bug #13787: custom sess_write not called to start session

From: wcook@nuvox.net Operating system: Linux 2.4.7 glibc 2.2.2 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: custom sess_write not called to start session Bug #9002 describing problems with custom session handlers still appears to be unresolved in PHP v4.0.6. The problem that still persists is the sess_write handler is never called to create a new session when register globals is turned off. An interesting behavior is that after a session is successfully started by a script with register globals turned on, you can turn register globals off and the sess_write handler will be called properly for the life of the session. The sess_write handler is never called unless a session already exists. As a workaround we have one script that has register globals turned on with an ini_set call and we start the session in the script. After the session is started by the script with register_globals enabled all of our other scripts with register_globals disabled work fine with our custom session handlers. our PHP configure options: './configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-xml' '--with-ttf=/usr/local' '--disable-debug' '--enable-inline-optimizations' -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13787&edit=1
