PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  Disabling session.use_cookies doesn't prevent reading session 
cookies

Description:
------------
If configuration directive session.use_cookies is set to 0 (or Off),
cookies aren't sent to the browser anymore, but however if browser sends a
previously received cookie within a request, PHP tries to use it for
session id.

This is the problem in WAP deployments where number of mobile phone
browsers sends a Cookie in the form of:

Cookie: PHPSESSID="xxx, PHPSESSID=xxx" (as denoted in
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=32111)

This makes PHP to produce a warning:

PHP Warning:  Unknown(): The session id contains invalid characters, valid
characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 in Unknown on line 0

Reproduce code:
---------------
session_set_cookie_params(3600);
session_start();
var_dump(session_id());

Add

ini_set('session.use_cookies', true);

in the first request and 

ini_set('session.use_cookies', false);

in the secodn.

Expected result:
----------------
After the second request, session ID (as returned by session_id()) should
not be same as after the first request.

Actual result:
--------------
The value returned by session_id() is the same within the first and second
requests.

I think that session.use_cookies is disabled, there should be no checking
if the browser sends the cookie having the same name as session_name().
