Bug #13787 Updated: custom sess_write not called to start session

ID: 13787 User updated by: wcook@nuvox.net Reported By: wcook@nuvox.net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.4.7 glibc 2.2.2 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: I don't think it is a bug in my session handler because everything works properly with register globals turned on. Another PHP user read my bug report and said he is having the same problem even after upgrading to PHP version 4.1.0. The code I am using is basically the code posted at PHPBuilder http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/ying20000602.php3 I have done some testing by writing to a log file from the sess_write handler and it is never called if a session does not already exist.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13787&edit=1
