Bug #81291 [Com]: Issue tracker: "Please enable cookies so the Captcha system can work" error

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81291&edit=1 ID: 81291 Comment by: chealer at gmail dot com Reported by: chealer at gmail dot com Summary: Issue tracker: "Please enable cookies so the Captcha system can work" error Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks Christoph "Invalid session …" may be less bad than the current message, but I don't think it would be correct. I suppose "Session not found" would be better. If by "provide a pull request" you mean submit a patch, I prefer to let maintainers decide which solution(s) they prefer. Fixing the wording is probably a good thing, but if this happens in less than 24 hours, other solutions should be considered (prolonging or eliminating sessions, or just eliminating the CAPTCHA).

So apparently the session had been garbage collected, and you've got the confusing error message[1]. I think the message could be improved to something that says "Invalid session …". Maybe you want to provide a pull request[2]?

Ticket #66653 is about "Incorrect CAPTCHA" errors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-09-29 16:33:54] cmb@php.net This is a duplicate of bug #66653. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-07-25 14:06:12] chealer at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Yesterday, I wrote an issue report on bugs.php.net. Before submitting bug #81290, I went to bed so I could review the report after a break and notice errors or omissions. When I activated the "Send bug report" button today, I got the following error in a red rectangle at the top: ERROR: Please enable cookies so the Captcha system can work Obviously, cookies were enabled, so I could not do that. All I could do was to try submitting again, which worked. I filed multiple other tickets without experiencing this problem, and if you read this, that is because filing this one will not have reproduced the problem. I can only guess this error is related to the longer-than-average time I took to submit the form. By the way, "CAPTCHA" is an acronym and should be uppercase. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81291&edit=1
