Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55849&edit=1 ID: 55849 Comment by: tklingenberg at lastflood dot net Reported by: tklingeberg at lastflood dot net Summary: session_start() return value mismatch to docs Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Session related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Related: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52982 (PHP 5.4 new session_status() function) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-10-04 23:12:54] tklingeberg at lastflood dot net Description: ------------ In http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php it's written that the return value of the function: Changelog Version Description 5.3.0 If a session fails to start, then FALSE is returned. Previously TRUE was returned. This information is wrong. With PHP 5.3.8 on my Fedora box in CLI mode, the function returns true, even if called a second time. It gives a notice that it does not work, but it returns TRUE.
