PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: Illegal Characters in SessionID, session_name when set to
"sid".
Description:
------------
Hi,
once I've updated first to 5.0.3 and now also to the latest snapshot, I
get "illegal character errors" when starting a session with session name
"sid" (defined in php.ini for default, see examples below).
When I change the session name to another value (like "foo" for example),
everything works fine and the session id is set correctly.
When I change the "foo" in the working example to "sid" to set the session
name explicit to that value, the same errors occur.
Thanks for help and best regards,
Kamil
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
// Error code: Session name is "sid" for default from php.ini.
session_start();
echo 'Session Name: '.session_name().'<br />';
echo 'Session Id: '.session_id().'<br />';
?>
<?
// This code works fine (when changing foo to sid it also does not work).
session_name('foo');
session_start();
echo 'Session Name: '.session_name().'<br />';
echo 'Session Id: '.session_id().'<br />';
?>
Expected result:
----------------
>From error code:
Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: The session id contains
