PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: Session not always restored after redirect
Description:
------------
If localhost/p1.php initiates a session before redirecting to
127.0.0.1/p2.php (or vice versa), the session data will be saved in p1 but
not restored in p2; a new session will be started in p2.
Only if the host references match literally ( both 'localhost' or both
'127.0.0.1' ) will the session be restored.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Create 2 files, truncate sessions for a clean start ( I store sessions in
a mysql db, and 'incSessions.inc' are the vanilla routines that support
that)
_t1.php:
<?php define('cDocRoot',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/') ;
require_once( cDocRoot.'Global/incSessions.inc' ) ;
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['T1'] = session_id() ;
header('Location: http://127.0.0.1/_t2.php') ;
exit() ;
?>
_t2.php:
<?php define('cDocRoot',$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/') ;
require_once( cDocRoot.'Global/incSessions.inc' ) ;
session_start() ;
$_SESSION['T2'] = session_id() ;
var_dump($_SESSION) ;
exit() ;
?>
Type into the address line of your browser "127.0.0.1/_t1.php", and note
that var_dump shows both 'T1' and 'T2' having been set. Inspect the
sessions storage, note that only one session was created.
Re-truncate sessions, and call _t1 as "localhost/_t1.php". Note that
var_dump now shows only 'T2' having a value, and that inspection of the
sessions storage shows 2 sessions rather than 1.
Expected result:
----------------
I expected the session to be restored after the redirect regardless of how
localhost was identified.
Actual result:
--------------
See above
