Summary

0002758: Starting the session

Description

I'm running into an issue when using the php function session_start as in

session_start();

This happens only when running the php application in Resin/Quercus.

It does not happen when running it directly in PHP.

I traced the program execution and my conclusion is that calling this php function will give the error message, even when calling it for the first time in the program execution.

I found out why my session_start function would give the error message.

This is because just before calling this function I would call the function session_regenerate_id(true);
as in:

// For security reasons renew the session id
session_regenerate_id(true);

session_start();

Somehow, and contrary to PHP4, Resin seems to start a session when calling the function session_regenerate_id(true)

So I removed the call to session_regenerate_id(true); and it now works fine.

Steps To Reproduce

Additional Information

I also tried to call session_regenerate_id(false); to see if it would give some interesting result.

And indeed it gave me an exception.
500 Servlet Exception
[show] java.lang.NullPointerException

Same thing when calling it like session_regenerate_id();
