## #24354 — Ralph Schindler — 2006-07-12T18:35:43+00:00

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.
