From: mccarthy36 at earthlink dot net Operating system: Linux 2.4.20-20.7 PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session_start() sends session cookie at every request
Description: ------------ session_start() is sending the session cookie at every request, and Internet Explorer 6 hangs indefinitely the third time that happens. This is with PHP 4.3.4 (module) / Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113 (kernel 2.4.20-20.7) / Apache 1.3.29. This problem seems to bear some relation to the problem reported in bug #22771, though I am NOT using session_id(), as described in that report. Also similar is #25894, but that was marked as bogus. The code fragment exhibits the problem on my system, described above. The same code on PHP 4.3.0 (module) / Slackware Linux (kernel 2.4.12) / Apache 1.3.26 works fine -- the session cookie is only sent on the first request. Reproduce code: --------------- ini_set( 'session.name', 'MyCookieName' ); ini_set( 'session.save_handler', 'files' ); ini_set( 'session.auto_start', '0' ); ini_set( 'session.gc_maxlifetime', '3600' ); ini_set( 'session.gc_probability', '5' ); ini_set( 'session.serialize_handler', 'php' ); ini_set( 'session.cookie_lifetime', '0' ); ini_set( 'session.cookie_path', '/' ); ini_set( 'session.cookie_domain', '.YOURDOMAIN.com' ); ini_set( 'session.use_cookies', '1' ); ini_set( 'session.use_only_cookies', '1' ); ini_set( 'session.cache_limiter', 'nocache' ); ini_set( 'session.cache_expire', '60' ); ini_set( 'session.use_trans_sid', '0' ); session_start(); Expected result: ---------------- I expect the session cookie 'MyCookieName' to be set on the first request, only. Actual result: -------------- 'MyCookieName' is set with each request. Internet Explorer 6 / Win chokes the third consecutive time this happens. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26502&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26502&r=float
