Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76808&edit=1 ID: 76808 Comment by: samuel dot chemla at orange dot com Reported by: samuel dot chemla at orange dot com Summary: session upload progress not available when session name is customized w/ini_set Status: Verified Type: Documentation Problem Package: Session related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.2.9 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks for the explanation. This should be explained in the documentation because it's not that trivial. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-29 14:06:20] requinix@php.net Uploads are processed before any scripts execute. Changing the session name with ini_set cannot possibly work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-29 09:03:37] samuel dot chemla at orange dot com I just saw there was a similar user comment on the manual page http://php.net/manual/en/session.upload-progress.php : ``` It seems like defining a session name before starting the session makes the $_SESSION['upload_progress...'] not to work any more ! session_name('session'); session_start(); (in both the upload page, and the XHR request) ``` ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-08-29 09:01:18] samuel dot chemla at orange dot com Description: ------------ I'm using session upload progress exactly as described here : http://php.net/manual/en/session.upload-progress.php It works when session has it's default name (PHPSESSID). If you customize the session name it won't work ($_SESSION won't contain the upload_progress_ stuff) Test script: --------------- Run the http://php.net/manual/en/session.upload-progress.php test: 1) With default session options 2) With ini_set('session.name', 'foo') before starting the session Expected result: ---------------- $_SESSION["upload_progress_123"] should be available Actual result: -------------- $_SESSION["upload_progress_123"] is not set ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76808&edit=1
