The way PHP5 creates session ids has changed. No longer are session ids always 32 characters. Rather it depends on how session.hash_function and and session.hash_bits_per_character are set in php.ini. The default now gives 27 characters. To go back to 32 change the function to 1 and and bits to 5 or function 0 and bits to 4. This problem is particularily relevant for people using custom session handlers. For example, it affects phpSecureSessions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-start.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42244 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42244&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42244&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
