ID: 25574 Comment by: unknown at simplemachines dot org Reported By: markus dot welsch at suk dot de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.4.22 (Debian 3.0r1) PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment:
Markus, PHP, as described in the manual, saves session data to files in a temporary directory. (unless an alternate handler is used...) The cookie option is there to let the client know their ID and only their ID, which is used to access these files. The option you describe, session.use_only_cookies, means it will not take session id's passed via GET. (like ?PHPSESSID=1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef) However, I do agree that not having session.save_path set should work; just like not having upload_tmp_dir set. If you agree, please see my bug report here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26757 Thank you, -[Unknown] Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-18 02:11:15] markus dot welsch at suk dot de Well it does NOT write to a file if a path is given and it should save to cookies like described, so why do you require to set this ? Either the PHP itself or the documentation should be updated at least :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 18:34:33] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php How can you expect sessions to work if PHP cannot safe the corresponding session data? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 10:17:20] markus dot welsch at suk dot de Of course you have to reload after the 1st execution otherwise it's of no use :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-17 10:04:51] markus dot welsch at suk dot de Description: ------------ When using sessions and having session.save_path to an empty value the session data won't be saved - even if session.use_only_cookies = 1 When session.save_path is specified it works fine. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_name("test"); session_start(); print "Session-ID: ".session_id()."<br>"; print_r($_SESSION); $_SESSION['test'] = "example"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- Session-ID: c0b505ac52883be84dd9681fc6e84c50 Array ( [test] => example ) Actual result: -------------- Session-ID: c0b505ac52883be84dd9681fc6e84c50 Array ( ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25574&edit=1
