I have not dug super deep into this problem but it seems as though if I
try to call session_regenerate_id() after having set session.save_path
with custom values, i get an error. My guess is that
session_regenerate_id() is having issues with the save_path var.
This is my test script:
file: ../htdocs/test.php
<?
ini_set("session.save_path", ";666;../application/var/sessions");
session_start();
$id_before = session_id();
if ((++$_SESSION['counter'] % 5) == 0)
{
session_regenerate_id(true);
}
echo "<pre>SESSION ID BEFORE: " . $id_before . "\n";
echo "SESSION ID AFTER : " . session_id();
?>
The first 5 times it runs, it works fine... which means the file was
created with the proper permissions and at the proper location.
The 5th run produces this:
SESSION ID BEFORE: 36236b948b074164d5344184a79ceeff
SESSION ID AFTER : 759d5771cbcd3535c03660cc056385df

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify
that the current setting of session.save_path is correct
(;666;../application/var/sessions) in Unknown on line 0
My permission on that directory are 777.. so technically there should be
no problem.
