ID: 31184 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: kamil at kube dot org Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Redhat 9 PHP Version: 5CVS-2004-12-19 (dev) New Comment:
Not to supplant Derick, but I have a guess: "SID" is a defined constant in PHP that gives the current session identifier, hence the warnings. This is pretty clear in the documentation, so I would almost guess it to be expected behavior. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-19 12:55:15] kamil at kube dot org Hi Derik, sorry to bother you, but could you tell me why this is bogus? I spent the whole day searching for an explanation and didn't found anything at google nor at the php.net pages. A session name "sid" did work fine all the time until now... Thanks, Kamil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-19 12:33:43] [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 . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-12-19 12:12:57] kamil at kube dot org 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 illegal characters, valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and '-,' in /web/music2deal/htdocs/bla1.php on line 3 Session Name: sid Session Id: Warning: Unknown: The session id contains illegal characters, valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and '-,' in Unknown on line 0 Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files).
