Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-18 21:14:58] requinix@php.net The only way I see session_create_id failing is either (a) you don't have good enough crypto, or (b) you're using a custom session handler that's not behaving well. So what are you session settings? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-18 19:03:35] software_onbekend at hotmail dot com Exact warning: from def. environment: Warning: session_create_id(): Failed to create new ID in E:\xampp\htdocs\8\index.php on line 20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-18 18:17:05] requinix@php.net > Here I get the warnings. Exactly what are they? > The explanation of the return values doesn't explain the link between these values 0, 1 > & 2. Use the constants. If you want something you can read, use the constants to output human friendly strings like "active". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-18 17:21:31] software_onbekend at hotmail dot com The def. environment is PHP 7.4.3 (xamp installation on Windows). session.auto_start = "Off". "display_errors" and "display_startup_errors" values are "On". Here I get the warnings. Tested example in prod. environment with PHP 7.3.17. session.auto_start = "Off" No warning because the most hosted platform has the "display_errors" and "display_startup_errors" at "Off" so the warnings and errors are suppressed. No output to webbrowser. About the session-status. echo session_status; gives int. as answer in the browser (values 0 or 1 or 2) The explanation of the return values doesn't explain the link between these values 0, 1 & 2. The contributed note from "sasi dot viragelet at gmail dot co" gives the answer. Perhaps we can use that info to improve the documentation. Just my 2 cents. Have a nice day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2020-05-17 21:59:23] a at b dot c dot de For the first question: The sample code is working fine for me. What version are you using? Do you perhaps have session.auto_start enabled? For the second question: PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE is an integer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
