ID: 43819 User updated by: fxbois at gmail dot com Reported By: fxbois at gmail dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: RHEL3 PHP Version: 5.2.5 New Comment:
I have in my php.ini file the value : session.save_path = "/tmp" When I try to change this value in a php script with session_save_path() the new value is not kept and the session.save_path still contains "/tmp". session_save_path("2;0777;web/tmp"); error_log(session_save_path()); // /tmp appears instead of 2;0777;web/tmp What is strange is that this bad behaviour only appears a few minutes after an apache restart. I tried many night build (5.2.6) with no success. I am sure that this behaviour appeared with 5.2.5. I can try patches if you want. Hope this new comment will help. This bug is very very annoying on a shared server. tia Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-12 15:26:08] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

I set it with session_save_path() but just after, when I look at its value, it contains the master value instead of the value just setted. This happens after a short period of time. (Just after restrating apache everything works fine). It is a big security problem in my opinion. System : - Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8) - PHP 5.2.5 - Apache/2.0.46 Reproduce code: --------------- // master value is /home/.tmp $new = '2;0777;web/tmp'; session_save_path($new); echo session_save_path(); Expected result: ---------------- 2;0777;web/tmp Actual result: -------------- /home/.tmp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43819&edit=1
