RE: [PHP] possible session bug - Mantis Bug Tracker
Just wanted to follow up with this and let any interested parties know.. This ended up being a problem with Mantis' feature to grab users email addresses from LDAP. Disabling this solved the issue. -Original Message- From: Robert Cummings [mailto:rob...@interjinn.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 03, 2009 11:18 AM To: Edsall, William (WJ) Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] possible session bug - Mantis Bug Tracker On Tue, 2009-03-03 at 11:01 -0500, Edsall, William (WJ) wrote: Hello list!

[PHP] possible session bug - Mantis Bug Tracker
Hello list! I'm having a strange problem with php after installing Mantis Bug Tracker. I'm not sure if this is a Mantis bug or a PHP bug but I'm leaning toward PHP. Here's what's going on. When I view an issue in Mantis, it is slow to spit out the text and often does not finish spitting out the text on the page. When it does this, the browser I was using is locked out from further communication to the server. If I delete the session file in use by this session, I am able to use the browser again immediately. I can't tell if this is a session bug or if Mantis is causing this bug. Please advise! PHP 5.2.4 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Sep 22 2007 02:01:31) Server version: Apache/2.2.4 (Unix) Server built: Mar 6 2008 02:37:06 Thank you ahead of time list. ___ William J.

I've just installed 1.1.6 at work (convincing people to use it is still an ongoing issue!) and it works just fine. Do you have an odd settings in your php.ini?
