ID: 20449 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: redhat 7.3 -PHP Version: 4.2.3 +PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment:
Please put correct version number in the report.. I assume it's 4.3.0-dev but if it's something else, please change it. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 16:35:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've experienced the same problem, on various platforms. SPARC Solaris 8 with PHP 4.2.2, Intel Linux 2.4 with PHP 4.2.3, and RedHat Alpha Linux 2.4 with PHP 4.2.3. However I'm not using it in the context of a shopping cart, my application is that of a "Checksheet" that we use to mark off Quality Assurance items. The Checksheet is large so I store the form contents in a session. They can move through all kinds of menus and parts of the Checksheet and the work is stored entirely in a session. About 8 people use this Checksheet system throughout the day 7 days a week, about once a day suddenly the Checksheet system will say they aren't logged in, and when they relogin in, their work is gone. I've implemented a quick and dirty save to database feature for long term storage and I've encouraged my users to frequently save. The save merely serializes the Checksheet object that is normally stored in a session, and saves it to a database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 14:15:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quick question. What should session.save_handler be in the php.ini file when using my own mysql session handlers? Should it remain files or should it get set to user to make the session_set_save_handler work properly? The documentation is somewhat unclear on this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 13:58:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am already using the save handler to use my own mysql backend. Please don't close this bug again. I am using CVS from a build on 11-14-2002. I still get random session failure. Here is a list of other bugs that are related to this. Bug #19029 Bug #17846 Bug #19972 Bug #19022 As far as I can tell, these other bugs were never fully resolved. BTW, while I allow php to set a cookie, I don't use it at all. I manually set session_id by using the session passed via the url. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 13:37:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-15 12:59:59] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What are these other bugs you mention? Please reference exact bug report numbers. And, what are you using for your session backend data store? Using your own db-based data store would probably be a good idea. See php.net/session_set_save_handler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
