#35076 [Bgs]: Sometimes the log file shows: The session id contains illegal characters, ..etc
ID: 35076 User updated by: vincent_f40 at hotmail dot com Reported By: vincent_f40 at hotmail dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux RHEL4, 2.6.9-11.ELsmp PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-11-05 (snap) New Comment: Hi Sniper, Compared the httpd access log file with the error times, from this bug-post. There are not so much entries on those times and nothing looks weird. If your sure this is not a bug, could you point out a page where this problem is explained ? Thanks, Vince Previous Comments: [2005-11-06 04:02:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please ask your administrator to check the httpd access log and compare the times there with the error time here. This is not a PHP bug. [2005-11-06 00:14:14] vincent_f40 at hotmail dot com Hi Sniper, Thank you for your reply. I have no idea what IS passed to the server(what can be passed?). I am just somehow getting these errors appearing arround 2-3 times a hour. Nothing more it says...(just as I copy and pasted the error down here) Also nothing about the session_id... As you can see in the error I copy and pasted. We use cookies for the sessions(we do not use session id in the link)...dont know if there is a way to hack our service in this way...with some random session_id...but then I should see these errors appear a lot more I guess... Any clue ? Do I need to switch to a more verbose error logging... Thanks, Vince [2005-11-05 23:29:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] So what IS passed to server when this happens? What is the session id? Are you sure someone just isn't trying to hack your service with some random generated ID's and just doesn't know that some chars are not allowed? [2005-11-05 21:58:26] vincent_f40 at hotmail dot com file: config.inc file: session_init.inc file: index.php I am not able to reproduce the error. The error just appears sometimes in the log files...But basicly this is the setup. Some pages we use frames...but I guess that should not be a problem.
