php4 -> php5 session problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,
since upgrading to php5 I've a problem with session handling. In php4 a user initiated a session, the session id gets afterwards handed over to a payment provider. When the payment provider calls a script with the session id added to the query string, all session data gets loaded and everything works fine. When I switch to php5 all session data gets lost and the session file has zero length afterwards. Attached is a short script to verify the behaviour:

<?php
session_name('XTCtest');
if (isset($_GET['sid'])) $sessid = session_id($_GET['sid']);
session_start();

if (isset($_GET['set']))
$_SESSION['customer_id']=$_GET['set'];

echo "<html><head><title>test</title></head><body>your customer id is " .$_SESSION['customer_id']." and session id is ".session_id()."<body></html>";
?>

calling the script from machine 1 with query string "?set=4711" returns the correct value. calling the script again from machine 1 without a query string and cookies enabled works as expected (returns 4711).

calling the script from machine 2 with query string "? XTCtest=<sessionid>" or "?sid=<sessionid>" works perfectly on php4 and return 4711. On php5 session data is lost and nothing is returned.

Does anybody have a clue what I miss or have to change for php5?

regards,
Juergen

P.S: attached are the php.ini setting for php5

session.save_handler = files
session.save_path = "/tmp"
session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 0
session.name = PHPSESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 0
session.cookie_path = /
session.cookie_domain =
session.serialize_handler = php
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor     = 1000
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 1
session.referer_check =
session.entropy_length = 0
session.entropy_file =
session.cache_limiter = nocache
session.cache_expire = 180
session.use_trans_sid = 0
session.hash_function = 0
session.hash_bits_per_character = 5
