From: drak Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.13 Package: Session related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Session auto-start issues
Description: ------------ session.auto_start can currently be set in PHP_INI_ALL - however this is illogical and confusing. When session.auto_start = 1, a session is started when PHP initialises according to the session.save_handler and session.save_path settings PHP starts up with. This makes it impossible to configure custom save handlers since PHP will have already started the session before userland code is executed. Furthermore, this ini value can be modified at runtime, in PHP_INI_USER context which makes no sense, since if it was 1 at start-time, sessions will have already started; and if the it was 0 at start-time, sessions will only be started when session_start() is explicitly called - the setting is pointless at runtime. Thus the context in which session.auto_start can be set should change to at least PHP_INI_PERDIR. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62015&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62015&r=mysqlcfg
