Hi all, I was browsing bugs and found old feature request that can be fixed easily. Request #35703 when session_name("123") consist only digits, should warning https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35703&thanks=1 session.name cannot be integer like string, since it will be initialized as "long" key hash while session module trying to find as "string" key hash. I don't understand why some users are willing to use digits only session name, but problem is problem. It's not intuitive, but this limitation is documented. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-name.php If any one of you think this should be fix (i.e. Raise error for invalid session name) I'll fix this. If not, I'll reply as "Won't fix". Any comments? -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
