cause sessions to not save

New Comment:
If session cookie is empty string, cookie should be deleted.
Do you mean string looks empty? i.e. ' ' for instance.
If multiple cookie for the same name is set (i.e. set path and/or domain for
cookie), already existing cookie may not be able to be
overwritten by new cookie.
Your case sounds like later case. If so, it's the cookie spec and we cannot do
much and please close this bug report.
We can try to delete all the possible pattern of path and domain for session
cookie, but I think it's users task.

Description:
------------
If a session cookie is not set, a new session id will be created and all works
fine. However, if for some reason the session cookie is set, but an empty
string, session_start() throws a warning and custom session handlers are called
with an empty session id. In addition, no session cookies are set.
Test script:
---------------
The test script involves setting empty cookies and such. This is the user land
workaround I am using for now.
if(isset($_COOKIE[ini_get("session.name")]) &&
empty($_COOKIE[ini_get("session.name")])){
// The cookie is empty. This is bad.
unset($_COOKIE[ini_get("session.name")]);
}
session_start();
Expected result:
----------------
An empty session cookie should be treated the same as an unset session cookie.
Actual result:
--------------
Empty session cookies are treated as session ids, but warned and cause sessions
to not be saved.
