From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Linux 2.2.16 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: *Session related Bug description: session variables are not passed correctly to the user defined write function Hi ! I have the following problem: I'm using php4 session management with user defined functions to read/write session data from/to a mysql database. Sometimes session variables are not written correctly to the database, although they are read correctly and not changed on the page. I have logged the values the read function returns as well as the values passed to the write function: This is the correct output: (w) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: (r) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: (w) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (r) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (w) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (r) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (w) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (r) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (w) 6ab3322c74ba731179b210dc4401a928: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; This is the wrong output: (w) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: (r) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: (w) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (r) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (w) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (r) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|s:4:"test";auth_flags|s:1:"1"; (w) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|N;!:"test";auth_flags| (r) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|N;!:"test";auth_flags| (w) 3e8eab99d3e33bfe8393a0c4d0b8e987: auth_name|N;!:"test";auth_flags| The above example is the output of a simple frameset with 3 frames. Sometimes I get the correct output and sometimes I get the wrong one on exactly the same set of pages. Both variables are never changed. There should be no programming errors in my read/write functions... In the read function I simply read from db, output the result into a logfile and return the result. The example above shows reading works perfectly. And the write function outputs the passed value into the logfile before writing it to the database and as the above example shows the passed value is not correct.
