session.save_path = "N;/path"

I thought that I'd try this out with HEAD, but I found that PHP would go into an infinite loop. I didn't have time to debug it, so I reverted to using a regular path instead. Could a session guru take a look and double check this? session.save_path="2;/var/tmp" --> infinite loop session.save_path="/var/tmp" --> works just fine If there isn't an obvious problem, I'll try to get a backtrace later tonight. --Wez. > Colin Viebrock wrote: > > cmv Mon Oct 7 13:58:27 2002 EDT > > > > Modified files: > > /php4 php.ini-dist > > Log: > > Document session.save_path option in php.ini > > Index: php4/php.ini-dist > > diff -u php4/php.ini-dist:1.161 php4/php.ini-dist:1.162 > > --- php4/php.ini-dist:1.161 Thu Oct 3 02:52:23 2002 > > +++ php4/php.ini-dist Mon Oct 7 13:58:27 2002 > > @@ -766,6 +766,15 @@ > > +; As of PHP 4.2.3, you can define the path as: > > +; session.save_path = "N;/path" > > +; where N is an integer.
