Bug description: Starting session from specified ID fails
I have a script that saves information to a session
variable and then sends the session_id to another script
via POST, which does something, then sends data to another
PHP script by silent POST, including the session_id, which
is to retrieve the original values saved in the session,
specified by it's original session_id.
1st PHP script:
$USER_FORM = "a bunch of text";
session_register("USER_FORM");
$sess = session_id();
exit;
2nd PHP script:
/* We want to start our session from a session id that is
passed
to us in POST data */
$sess = $HTTP_POST_VARS['sess'};
ini_set("session.auto_start", "0");
ini_set("session.cache_limiter", "public");
session_id($sess);
session_start();
global $USER_FORM;
/* Instead of printint the "bunch of text", it prints
nothing */
print $USER_FORM;
This same code worked using PHP 4.0.6 running on UNIX.
In my php.ini, I have session_auto_start set to true, which
is why I turn it off by setting the ini in the 2nd script.
Register globals is on.
