Can you please test the patch attached ?

If you can test it quickly I can integrate it before 5.3.9 is going RC1.

thx

Hello,

sorry, the problem still exists.
session.auto_start is : Off
Some code here .....

With cli:
session.auto_start is : 0

1- On wich version did you apply the patch ? Please test the patch on the 
lastest 5.3.x snapshot.

2- you should not surrender the parameter with double quote:

php_flag["session.auto_start"] = Off

should be

php_flag[session.auto_start] = Off


Can you get rid of the bug. On my side, I have the last 5.3.x snapshot and it 
works great. I can't reproduce your problem.

Hi fat,

i have tested the latest snapshot with the patch and have changed the config to
php_flag[session.auto_start] = Off

But the problem is still here.

Looking into fpm_conf.c at: static char *fpm_conf_set_array(... :
        if (convert_to_bool) {
                char *err = fpm_conf_set_boolean(value, &subconf, 0);
                if (err) return err;
                kv->value = strdup(b ? "On" : "Off");
        }

It looks like kv->value is either string "On" or "Off" or am i wrong ?

hum ... not sure to understand your problem afterall :)

without the patch:
If I set php_flag[session.auto_start]=On
ini_get("session.auto_start") returns "On"
and session are created for each page (auto start is on as asked)

If I set php_flag[session.auto_start]=Off
ini_get("session.auto_start") returns "Off"
and session are NOT created for each page (auto start is off as asked)

For me this works as expected.
Do you have the same behavior ?

Hello,

yes, the option is set correct, but the return value of ini_get() is different than whith php-cgi.

Most apps like typo3, joomla, wordpress, eg. are checking in the installer, if php.ini settings are correct.
These setting are checked thru ini_get.

When ini_get(session.auto_start) is not 0 but "Off", then the check fails.

Here is the sample code from typo3 installer:

                if (ini_get('session.auto_start')) {
                        $sessionCreationError = 'Error: session.auto-start
is enabled.<br />';
                        $sessionCreationError .= 'The PHP option
session.auto-start is enabled. Disable this option in php.ini or
.htaccess:<br />';

I hope you understand now my problem.

In the php manual http://php.net/ini_get is an notice:
Hinweis: When querying boolean values

A boolean ini value of off will be returned as an empty string or "0" while a boolean ini value of on will be returned as "1". The function can also return the literal string of INI value. 

--

It looks like, that the value is not boolen Off but string "Off"

I finally understood your problem ;)

Can you please test the version 2 of the patch attached and reopen the bug when 
it's done ?

Thx

Hello Jerome,

works like a charm :-)

Thank you much.

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

I've fixed 2 things:
1- php_flag didn't handle correctly the On and Off parameters
2- php_value didn't accept empty values
