ID: 27451 User updated by: hamid at wannameet dot nl Reported By: hamid at wannameet dot nl Status: Open Bug Type: Session related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment:
i have put my latest error_log in the directory php_bug as you can see the session exists but sess_lang and sess_referer are empty. // error function session_start(); $sess_lang = $_SESSION['lang']; $sess_referer = $_SESSION['referer']; $session_id = session_id(); $errorString .= "Session_id: $session_id\n"; $errorString .= "Sess_lang: $sess_lang\n"; $errorString .= "Sess_referer: $sess_referer\n"; // the format for the include files is: include("content/$sess_lang/filename.inc"); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 16:35:14] idong at gmx dot de Hello Hamid, Really strange... I tried this again, after reading your comment and now I get: lang test 1 - de 2 - en no_lang test 1 - de 2 - en I swear that I just copied and pastet the results of the script - both with my first posting and now with this one. I tried it with register_globals on and register_globals off. This is really getting strange since you get a completely different result from my example and me, I got a different result (than the first time) too. Anyway, the result from my last test (see above) isn't the expected behaviour either or am I making a mistake? Ok, lets resume the problem at this point of time: 1. With the same example I got two different results. I changed nothing in between, only some time went by. 2. Again, using my example, YOU got a completely different result - the result I would have also expected from my own tests. 3. looking at my latest results, I can say that my first analysis (bug occurs on use of "lang" as session var name) was wrong. 4. YOU have the problem, that you are "losing vars from my session occassionaly" Any help from the PHP crew? Thanks a lot, idong ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 15:42:21] hamid at wannameet dot nl hi idong, i tried your example, but the result i am getting is de de de de with register_globals Off and On ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 15:06:54] idong at gmx dot de Seems to me that if it is a special problem of $_SESSION along with session var name 'lang'. Try this: <?php session_start(); echo '<br><br><b>lang test'; $_SESSION['lang'] = 'de'; echo '<br>1 - '.$_SESSION['lang']; $lang = 'en'; echo '<br>2 - '.$_SESSION['lang']; echo '<br><br><b>no_lang test'; $_SESSION['no_lang'] = 'de'; echo '<br>1 - '.$_SESSION['no_lang']; $no_lang = 'en'; echo '<br>2 - '.$_SESSION['no_lang']; ?> What I get is this: lang test 1 - de 2 - en no_lang test 1 - de 2 - de Maybe there are some more variable names one shouldn't use with sessions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 05:35:37] hamid at wannameet dot nl the include files could not be opened because sess_lang was empty, but i changed my error reporting so that it will capture session_id en sess_lang. You will receive the new log file as soon as it has some entries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-03-02 03:05:31] [EMAIL PROTECTED] That error log only shows that some files can not be opened, and sessions work fine for almost anybody (we had no other bug reports like this), so can you show something that proves your point in the form of a log? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
