note 40031 added to function.session-start

Due to an upgrade of my PHP version to 4.3.3, I encountered some problems with my session. In fact, I don’t understand why my sessions were lost at an untimely moment. I’ve tested this code, assuming $_SESSION[user_name] was previously defined : /* example start */ session_start(); // check to see if session exists // assumes $_SESSION[user_name] was previously defined by your custom login validation code switch (isset($_SESSION[user_name])) { case TRUE: // Client cookie was probably created. echo 'Session verified.'; break; case FALSE: // Client cookie either doesn't exist or wasn't created. // Browser privacy setting may be set too high. echo 'Verificiation FAILED!'; break; } /* example end */ To solve the problem I added this piece of code just before the : session_start(); $cookie_session = "phpsessid"; if (isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookie_session])) session_id($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookie_session]); session_start(); if (!isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[$cookie_session])) setcookie($cookie_session, session_id(), time() + 60*60*10); // 10 hours Perhaps, it's not the best way to solve the problem... but it works for me ! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40031 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40031&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40031&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
