Could you please show all your session related INI values after any
ini_set() or session_set_cookie_params() that your script normally
makes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, ini_set("session.name", "sessionID") is called before, NOT
ini_set("session-name"...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don�t access the sessionID in the scripts directly via any $_GET or
$_POST. I only use PHP�s session_id() and session_name() functions
throughout the scripts.

After testing the current PHP snap there has been no change in the
behavior so I changed the version back to 4.3.3.

However I tried something different.
I appended &PHPSESSID={SESSIONID} to the URL so that it now looks like
"file.php?sessionID={SESSIONID}&PHPSESSID={SESSIONID}" when such a
session "loss" occured and it works!
As I stated before the session file exists and contains the correct
data so the session is kind of restored that way.

ini_get("session.name") however correctly returns "sessionID" on the
same page and ini_set("session-name", "sessionID") is of course called
prior to session_start().

So it seems as if PHP does not always correctly use the settings and
falls back to standard values.
Might ini_set values also be "remembered" by Apache processes as stated
in bug bug #25753?

I don�t know why it didn�t work some time ago when changing the session
name to PHPSESSID did not work, but since then the code has been
changed since then that might have been another problem.

Are you accessing the session ID via globals or do you use $_GET, etc.?
This might be same issue as bug #25753 is about.
