ID: 24131 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: meat at reed dot edu -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.2.16-22 SMP PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment:
Since even you can't reproduce it on another box, we should assume it's just problem with the system, not PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-11 23:13:23] meat at reed dot edu I certainly hope that I can't reproduce this bug, since all it takes is a call to session_start()--all configs are out-of-the-box defaults. No, I am not sure it's not a kernel bug, but the same scripts work flawlessly on my FreeBSD box. I guess I will keep it as @session_start() and see if the admin will upgrade the kernel (and the Apache installation). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-11 18:42:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you reproduce this within some other machine? And are you sure it's not just some bug in that kernel? (latest is 2.2.25 already.. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-11 17:41:59] meat at reed dot edu This occurs both when session.save_path is the default (/tmp) and when I set it to something else. The session files are created successfully. Like I said in the original submissions, the sessions appear to work just fine, and the warning only happens when starting a fresh session. It's totally possible that something is broken on the system, but that would seem to be at odds with the apparent functionality despite the warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-11 17:33:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is the session.save_path set to? And on what kind of partition does that exist? (never seen this before, might be something broken in your system..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-11 13:17:49] meat at reed dot edu This problem first occurred for me on PHP 4.3.2, and installing the CVS snapshot for 6-10-2003 did not help. When calling session_start() for the first time, in a script as simple as this one: <?php session_start(); ?> This warning appears in the browser: Warning: session_start(): read failed: Value too large for defined data type (75) in /usr/local/httpd/webapp/ html/tools/lib/std.php on line 19 Line 19 in the above script is simply "session_start()". If I preface the call with an @ to turn off warnings/errors, then the script works as intended. If I remove the @ while the session is active, the error is not given, but as soon as I log out (i.e. call session_destroy()), it comes back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24131&edit=1
