Doc #76413 [NEW]: session_name() documentation is wrong
From: tony at marston-home dot demon dot co dot uk
Operating system:
PHP version: 7.2.6
Package: Session related
Bug Type: Documentation Problem
Bug description:session_name() documentation is wrong
Description:
------------
The manual page for session_name() has recently been updated to include
the following:
"When new session name is supplied, session_name() modifies HTTP cookie
(and output contents when session.transid is enabled). Once HTTP cookie
is sent, session_name() raises error."
I have run several tests, and I cannot see this behaviour, nor has it
ever been the behaviour in all past versions of PHP.
Changing the session name does not create or modify any cookies. Session
cookies are only created with session-start() and modified with
session_regenerate_id().
It is also possible to create a cookie before calling
session_name('newname') without any error.
