Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: redhat 7.3
PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev
New Comment:
I run a couple of sites with at least 1000 unique users online at any
given time. I run 4.3.2 and would estimate that about 5 percent of my
users have this problem. It has me wondering, has anyone has
experienced this with version 5? Also if the previous poster who
developed their own session handler sees this can you please email me
or post a url to the code.

I just got the last comment sent to me in my email so I rechecked this
bug. I'm suprised to see that most of the comments that I had posted
to this bug are now gone. I'm also really suprised that this bug
report had been suspended.
Just for the last guys benefit for his comment on this bug...
I wrote my own session handling routine and that completely fixed the
problem. I now don't use any of the session calls built into php. I
also wrote my own serialize/deserialize function.
While I can't prove it at the moment as I don't have time to, I'm
pretty sure that the problem with the session handler is with the
serialize/deserialize routine used by the session handler. I seem to
remember this being my conclusion way back over a year ago and I think
I even provided comments in this bug report that seem to no longer be
attached to this bug.
I can't recall at the moment nor can I risk testing it on my site, but
I think when I tried using the serialize/deserialize function in php in
my own session manager I ran into the same symptoms of this bug. When I
wrote my own routine, it disappeared and solved my session management
woes.
Hope that helps.

I was extremely relieved to find this post, as I've been having the
identical problem. However, it seems like it's not yet resolved in any
practical manner. The same scenario occurs for me: a small but
important number of users lose the data in the session arrays (but not
the session itself) - I believe when the protocol switches from http to
https. I have tried many times on many machines to replicate it; so far
of the customers I have been able to get data from, it seems they are
all running IE6 on Windows XP, but that could easily just be
statistical probability. I've tried to replicate the problem using the
exact same IE version number, with no success. I can't tell how many
people this is affecting, exactly, but I can tell that it's costing us
money. It's reassuring to see other people facing the same problem, but
disparaging to see that it's been over a year and this apparent bug
still has not been resolved.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This should be fixed in PHP 4.3.2, so please give it a try.
