Well, it still stores the session-keys as files when they´re empty,
just not when I want it in a table. I use this to differ my sites
sessions from other sites on the server and I when I had all
sessions(empty or not) in a table I used it for "right" now stats. Now
I get empty session as files with the session key as name and the
sessions with data in my table. This makes it impossible for me to
count how many sessions belong to my site because I'm not the only one
using the server. So WHY are empty sessions stored as files and full
sessions as files when I store them as files BUT when I store the
sessions in a table I get the empty ones in files, along with the other
sites', and the sessions with variables which belong to my site, turn
up in the table as they're supposed to. I WANT all the sessions in ONE
place... =( *going back to 4.0...*

I would say it's a design. As you said, it does not make any sense
store session does not have any value.

I make this report to documentation problem, since this behavior is
better to be documented.

Do any of the PHP developers know if this is intended behavior? It
sounds like something that might have been "improved" since sessions
were first introduced, so the unnecessary overhead of storing session
information with no associated data was removed. It sounds like a good
idea to me (the current implementation).

Anyway, this bug is still listed as feedback and needs to either be
closed or reopened.

Register_globals is on.

This is what it used to be:
session_start() registered the session so I could see it even if it's
included no data(no registered variables). When I say see, I mean that
if i looked in the table I use for writeing the seesions I saw the key,
the expiry and no value.

NOW:
session_start() gives the visitor a key but it doesn't register the key
in my sessions teable unless I register a variable to the session.

A bit clearer?

What do you mean "no value"?
Empty string? NULL? FALSE?

Are you using $HTTP_SESSION_VARS/$_SESSION? or globals?
Is register_globals on?

Apache

session_start() doesn't save the session unless it holds any data. I've
just upgraded from 4.0.4pl1. It used to register all session even if
they only included a key and no value(data). Maybe it's a feature but
it sure messes my stats-scripts... =/

Get back to me with what you need.
