PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: $_SESSION and session.auto_start do not store values
Description:
------------
I am using PHP 5 and I ran into a problem using $_SESSION and
session_start() because they do not store values. I have the
register_globals option set to Off and the session.auto_start set to 0. I
am running apache 2.0 on my computer as a test server through localhost.
It has also caused me trouble when I am trying to use User Authentication
Applications
Reproduce code:
---------------
page1.php-------------------------------------------------------
// This first page is suppoused to store "Hello world!" as a value in the
$_SESSION['sess_var'] so it can pass it to page2.php
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['sess_var'] = "Hello world!";
echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is '
.$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />';
?>
<a href="page2.php">Next page</a>
page2.php-------------------------------------------------------
// Somehow it does not display "Hello World!"
<?php
session_start();
echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is '
.$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />';
unset($_SESSION['sess_var']);
?>
<a href="page3.php">Next page</a>
page3.php-------------------------------------------------------
<?php
session_start();
echo 'The content of $_SESSION[\'sess_var\'] is '
.$_SESSION['sess_var'].'<br />';
session_destroy();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I would expect page1.php and page2.php to show:
The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Hello world!
Next page
But page2.php only shows:
The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is
Next page
Actual result:
--------------
Page1.php:
The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is Hello world!
Next page
Page2.php only shows:
The content of $_SESSION['sess_var'] is
Next page
