Doc #54608 [NEW]: Confusing explanation about session_name

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Unknown/Other Function Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Confusing explanation about session_name Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.session-name#Parameters --- The session name references the session id in cookies and URLs. It should contain only alphanumeric characters; it should be short and descriptive (i.e. for users with enabled cookie warnings). If name is specified, the name of the current session is changed to its value. The first sentence should be changed. It is confusing as it could mean the session id itself, it should be rephrased to: The session name references the variable name used to store the session id in cookies and URLs; it should be short and descriptive (i.e. for users with enabled cookie warnings). If name is specified, the name of the current session is changed to its value. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54608&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54608&r=mysqlcfg
