RE: Bug IDs #8772, #9002, maybe #9724 - session write handler and register_globals

Hello, (Using both 4.0.4pl1 and latest CVS as of today.) I have been having similar problems with defining my own session handling routings and register_globals. If register_globals is off, a new session doesn't seem to call the "write" handler, thus the session never gets stored. With register_globals=on, the session gets stored correctly. I've done some testing and found out a fix to the problems which ends up being better than keeping register_globals on. Here's my code for my "read" handler (PostgreSQL-based). ------------------ function sess_read($sid) { global $SESS_DBH; $qry = "SELECT value FROM sessions WHERE sid = '$sid'"; $qid = pg_exec($SESS_DBH, $qry); if (pg_numrows($qid) > 0) { list($value) = pg_fetch_row($qid, 0); return $value; } return ""; } ------------------- Originally (last line in function above)php-general@lists.php.net, I was returning a FALSE instead of a blank string. When I switched over to returning a blank string (when there wasn't any data in the session database), my "write" handler gets called correctly. I'm not sure if this will fix anybody else's problems, but if you change your read handler to return a blank string instead of a FALSE condition, it may start working for you as well! (If it DOES help you out, please let me know.) Jaime Bozza
