Since there's no patch > attached, could you explain the change in more detail? When use_strice_mode=On, session_id($some_new_id); will generate random session ID, since there is no initialized session data for it. (This is what use_strict_mode=On supposed to do) However, user may set their own session ID which contains some data in session ID name via session_create_id([string $prefix]). e.g. time created/regenerated/etc. To set user defined session ID, user has to do ini_set('session.use_strict_mode', FALSE); session_id(session_create_id('SOME-USEFUL-PREFIX')); With this change, user could do session_id(session_create_id('SOME-USEFUL-PREFIX')); regardless of INI settings. session_id() is changed to modify 'session.use_strict_mode' INI to off internally. This change is not mandatory as user may change INI by themselves. It's for convenience. I don't mind at all withdrawing this change from the RFC. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
