Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: ANY
PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev
New Comment:
The only work around I have found is on the first call to start a
session in your application capture that session id. Then pass it in the
url or as a form parameter. After the session_start() call on your next
page, reset the session id to the passed in session id. Also may
consider archiving all session files such that can be parsed at a later
time to extract the key-value pairs.
This bug has been a major, major problem in my clients environment.
This has been the first time I have run into it. It also has nothing to
do with the time of the session as I have had the lost session occur in
less than 2 minutes after session start.
If not executing a session destroy, which will delete the session file
from the temp location, then look at the old session files and recover
the `lost` parameters.

Has a workaround been posted for this yet? I'm having a similar
problem.

Generally occurs during peak server loads. Intermittently, a new
session is created at session_start() call even though the cookie id has
not changed. Old session file remains with associated data. New session
wipes out all key value pairs resulting in lost data.

same problem here - FC4, PHP 5.0.2 - session files are empty.
possible solution ( sometimes works ) - use session_register insted of
$_SESSION to set a new value to the session

I am having the same problem. I have tried all the suggestions here.
One system is fedora core 4 the other is fedora core 5. Updating the
packages does not help. Setting charset does not help. Adding 0; to
the save_path does not help. The save path has the appropriate
permissions. The session file is created but always empty. Using
session_write_close has no effect. We developed the application, fully
tested, went to deploy and now this is blowing everything up...ouch!
