RE: [PHP-DEV] Bug #13787 Updated: custom sess_write not called to start session

This is exactly the problem I was talking about with Bug #14497. There are a lot of session handlers out there that try to use "return false;" in the session_read function, which makes 4.0.6 act strange, and causes 4.1.0 to crash with a segfault. I don't think it would be too difficult (would it?) to check for a "false" return and assume no data.

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 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
