note 54881 added to ref.session

Hello, I posted earlyer about a issue/bug with Windows servers handling sessions. If you did not read it, it was based on the fact that if you can use ini_set to re-define the session.save_path to a relitive location. PHP will instead use it as the exact location with out looking at the directory where your script is bein execute, thus to say, the session file is not created, or re-read. This of course only occurs if you use <?php reregister_id() ?>. This function is told to open the requested session file, obtain the varibles, regenerate an id for that session, create the new session file and then send the cookie header to the client, of course I did not create this function, so it may not be in that order. The following code will generate the error that I speak of, and will not successfully generate the new session id, of course like I said above, this only accours on PHP 5 & 5.0.4 under the Windows Environment. <?php define("_PATH_TMP", "./tmp"); ini_set('session.save_path', _PATH_TMP); session_start(); $_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id(); session_regenerate_id(); $_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id(); print_r($_SESSION); ?> (I know that PHP may use defined constants that include '_' characters at the beggining, if it has not already, but I am taking that chance atm...) This can simply be resolved by using the following code: <?php define("_PATH_TMP", dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) . "/tmp"); ini_set('session.save_path', _PATH_TMP); session_start(); $_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id(); session_regenerate_id(); $_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id(); print_r($_SESSION); ?> As you can see it uses the uses the servers environment to assurtain the exact location to the script, then locates the next root directory of it, and then allows you to define the tmp directory. * Of course, you dont need to use a tmp directory, and this issue only occurse when using subdirectorys, I found that the following works just aswell, but this did not fit my needs! <?php define("_PATH_TMP", "./"); ini_set('session.save_path', _PATH_TMP); session_start(); $_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id(); session_regenerate_id(); $_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id(); print_r($_SESSION); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+54881 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54881&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54881&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54881&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54881&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54881&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+54881&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+54881&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
