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 PHP opens a session file at the start of your script, and Windows does not allow you to unlink an opened file, which is perfectly fine to do on Unices. If you use session_write_close() before the unlink it will work, as that function stops the session during a script. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-07-22 06:44:45] d43m0n at shaw dot ca Description: ------------ Hello, In short, while a session is in progress, or running, we are not able to remove sess_* files by using unlink(). Yet, when a session is not active, I can remove all the files freely. There is nothing about this in the documentation, and there seems to be this issue all over forums searched from google. I feel this is a bug, as PHP should deny removing files while a session is active. The following produces this error "Warning: unlink(./tmp/sess_2b8185697c7b9d826773403c1477041f) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in X:\path\to\script.php on line 0" <?php define("_PATH_TMP", "X:/dir/to/my/tmp"); ini_set('session.save_path', _PATH_TMP); session_start(); $_SESSION['sid']['obsolete'] = session_id(); session_regenerate_id(); $_SESSION['sid']['replaced'] = session_id(); unlink('./tmp/' . $_SESSION['sid']['obsolete']) print_r($_SESSION); ?> As well, the garbage collection doesnt seem to be working, all I see is my sessions keep piling up since I have my script regenerate an id, thus create a new file in my defined tmp directory. If session_set_cookie_params worked properally, I would beable to define both id's thus to say I could unlink the file with $_COOKIE['sid']['obsolete']. As well, as I read apon session_regenerate_id() its suppose to remove the file apon complition... well, in short, its not! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33814&edit=1
