Hello,
Having similar problems on 5.0.5. Basically all I can say is, if you
have register_long_arrays=Off in your ini file, $_SESSION stuff does
work, apart from when you iterate over it. Run the code below, with
register_long_arrays=On and then with it off. The final result will be
different. It seems that if you iterate over $_SESSION, the
session_save handler does not get called and the session data is not
saved.
Hope this sheds some light on the problem,
<?php
session_start();
switch ($_REQUEST['state']) {
case 3:
$step='"search_test" should still be empty.';
$refresh='';
break;
case 2:
foreach($_SESSION as $key=>$value){
$_SESSION[$key]='';
}
$step='empty session "search_test"';
$refresh='<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="3;'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?state=3&'.date("U").'">';
break;
case 1:
$step='nothing set in this step';
$refresh='<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="3;'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?state=2&'.date("U").'">';
break;
default:
$_SESSION['search_test'] = 'Hello!';
$step='set session "search_test" to "Hello"';
$refresh='<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="3;'.$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"].'?state=1&'.date("U").'">';
}
?>
<html><head><?=$refresh?></head></body>
<?php
echo $step.'<br /><br />Session Data:<hr/><pre>';
print_r($_SESSION);
echo '</pre>';
?>
</body></html>

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc.
If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try to avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Hi, I think somebody else has a related problem with a workable test
case.

I think I'm seeing this same bug in 5.1.0RC4. I'm not
getting exactly the same symptom, but it's close. I'm
finding that session files are created no problem, but when
I change values in $_SESSION, the changes are not saved,
even if I use session_write_close(). I've set up a small
test case that is storing and changing exactly what I'm
doing in my project and it doesn't happen, so I don't think
it's a problem with the contents of the session. I also
wrote a test that stuffed 5000 strings into $_SESSION and
that worked ok too.
Like the original bug report, it all works fine if I leave
register_long_arrays turned on, even though I'm not using
them anywhere in my code, or in libraries that I'm using.
What I would like to do is do a trace with xdebug and look
at everything that involves sessions, but I can't at present
because xdebug-cvs won't run under 5.1.0RC4.
