From: raml at hotmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.0.3 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: $_SESSION and session.auto_start do not store values
Description: ------------ I am using PHP 5 and I ran into a problem using $_SESSION and session_start() because they do not store values. I have the register_globals option set to Off and the session.auto_start set to 0. I am running apache 2.0 on my computer as a test server through localhost. It has also caused me trouble when I am trying to use User Authentication Applications Reproduce code: --------------- page1.php------------------------------------------------------- // This first page is suppoused to store "Hello world!" as a value in the $_SESSION['sess_var'] so it can pass it to page2.php <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['sess_var'] = "Hello world!"; echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is ' .$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />'; ?> <a href="page2.php">Next page</a> page2.php------------------------------------------------------- // Somehow it does not display "Hello World!" <?php session_start(); echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is ' .$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />'; unset($_SESSION['sess_var']); ?> <a href="page3.php">Next page</a> page3.php------------------------------------------------------- <?php session_start(); echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is ' .$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />'; session_destroy(); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I would expect page1.php and page2.php to show: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Hello world! Next page But page2.php only shows: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Next page Actual result: -------------- Page1.php: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Hello world! Next page Page2.php only shows: The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Next page -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32628&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32628&r=mysqlcfg
