Bug description: session_write_close() not passing new session vars when globals are
turned off
OS - Red Hat 7.3
Web Server- Apache 1.3.23
PHP - 4.2.3
If globals are turned off when calling session_write_close() before a page
redirect, any new session data is not getting written when using files. As
a work around, if I use my on session handlers, I ignore the session_data
that gets passed to my session_write function and create my own session
data string like this:
function sess_write($key, $val)
{
// SGH - 10/03/2002
// globals off bug work around!!! The session data
// passed in is not always updated with new values.
// so we'll build our on session data from the
// super global $_SESSION.
$sesson_data = "";
while (list($name, $value) = each($_SESSION))
{
$$name = $value['tmp_name'];
if (is_string($value))
{
$session_data .=
$name.'|s:'.strlen($value).':'.chr(34).$value.chr(34).";";
}
elseif (is_int($value))
{
$session_data .= $name.'|i:'.$value.";";
}
elseif (is_float($value))
{
$session_data .= $name.'|d:'.$value.";";
}
}
$val = $session_data;
// more code ............
This works, however, seems to point to a PHP bug, since $val does not
contain the new varibles until I set it to the string I created from the
super global $_SESSION.
