I'm trying to report a bug at:
http://bugs.php.net/report.php
At the top of the page I always see:
Authentication failed: incorrect username Authentication failed:
incorrect username
This is true even if I clear cookies (to remove any possible traces of
an unsuccessful login attempt perhaps).
On the first try I make it to the "are you sure this is a new bug?"
page. When I attempt to confirm, I get this:
Authentication failed: Incorrect username Authentication failed:
Incorrect username
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
(output started at /home/Web/sites/php-bugs-web/include/auth.inc:30)
in /home/Web/sites/php-bugs-web/report.php on line 201
Also, I'm attempting to follow previous advice to this list regarding
submitting fixes for documentation bugs by preparing a diff. But it's
not apparent whether I should be pasting diffs into the bug tracker,
and my attempts to check out the documentation from the indicated
place aren't working anyway:
svn co http://svn.php.net/phpdoc/en/trunk/reference/session session
svn: Repository moved temporarily to
'/viewvc/phpdoc/en/trunk/reference/session'; please relocate
Macintosh-4:tmp boutell$ svn ls
http://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/en/trunk/reference/session
svn: Repository moved permanently to
'/viewvc/phpdoc/en/trunk/reference/session/'; please relocate
???
I give up (for now). This is more time than I have to report a simple
documentation problem and provide a suggested replacement.
The actual bug report follows, in case someone who maintains
documentation is watching and may be able to take advantage of it.
The description of session.gc_max_lifetime (as well as its name) imply
that it is the maximum lifetime of a session. In actuality it is just
the session timeout. This problem exists in both php.ini-dist/php.ini-
production and in the online reference manual.
I considered sending a diff but it's not clear to me where to send it.
The current text:
; After this number of seconds, stored data will be seen as 'garbage'
and
; cleaned up by the garbage collection process.
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
Suggested replacement:
; Session idle timeout. If a session is idle for this number
; of seconds, and PHP's default session handling is in use,
; the session data will potentially be cleaned up by the
; garbage collection process. Note that custom session
; handlers can override this (see session_set_save_handler ).
; The default timeout is 1440 seconds (24 minutes).
session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440
