From: meat at reed dot edu Operating system: Linux 2.2.16-22 SMP PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session_start() warns about failed read
This problem first occurred for me on PHP 4.3.2, and installing the CVS snapshot for 6-10-2003 did not help. When calling session_start() for the first time, in a script as simple as this one: <?php session_start(); ?> This warning appears in the browser: Warning: session_start(): read failed: Value too large for defined data type (75) in /usr/local/httpd/webapp/ html/tools/lib/std.php on line 19 Line 19 in the above script is simply "session_start()". If I preface the call with an @ to turn off warnings/errors, then the script works as intended. If I remove the @ while the session is active, the error is not given, but as soon as I log out (i.e. call session_destroy()), it comes back. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24131&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24131&r=gnused
