ID: 22483 User updated by: dmj28 at student dot canterbury dot ac dot nz Reported By: dmj28 at student dot canterbury dot ac dot nz Status: Open Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: FreeBSD 4.5 PHP Version: 4.3.2-dev New Comment:
I notice many session files of size ~3k and many others around 30k. Is there a limit on the size of session files which could cause expiry? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-03 16:35:59] dmj28 at student dot canterbury dot ac dot nz Upgrading has not fixed the problem. Is it possible, that two sites running different php applications which use sessions holding classes, with names such as: x.companyxyz.com and y.companyxyz.com could cause sessions to expire for some reason? Perhaps if they store different classes. Because these sites do appear to share the same session. Many thanks for any assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-28 19:19:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-28 19:09:11] dmj28 at student dot canterbury dot ac dot nz The problem is that sessions expire, before they should, apparently randomly. This did not seem to happen under 4.2. The following information may be useful: Two symptoms: - Php is using the query string to maintain sessions *ALOT* when cookies would normally be used? - Sessions occasionally expire well before they should. - A mail() sends an email with some characters replaced? Is it possible that some characters of output are being replaced, and this is causing session id's to be changed, expiring sessions?
