PHP version: 4.3.10
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: session_name() ignored in cookie
Description:
------------
php 4.3.10 configured with --with-mysql --with-apxs
When using your own session_name to call the cookie, PHP ignores it the
first time round, as in:
<?php
session_name("thisSession");
session_start();
?>
You have to set your session_name, start the session, destroy the session,
and start a new one to get it to recognise your name.
The cookie is still called "PHPSESSID" (the default in php.ini) the first
time round, but is ok the second.
The first code worked fine in 4.3.9.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_name("thisSession");
session_start();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
A cookie called "thisSession" to be present in the browser.
(Using Mozilla Firefox, can view the cookie names.)
Actual result:
--------------
A cookie called "PHPSESSID" is present, but no "thisSession" cookie.
You have to use the following to destroy the session and set it properly.
<?php
session_name("thisSession");
session_start();
session_destroy();
session_start();
?>
