Bug #49427 Using directory split on session path causes startup warnings
Submitted: 2009-08-31 19:09 UTC Modified: 2009-08-31 20:06 UTC
From: phpbugs at delinked dot net Assigned:

Description:
------------
When session.save_path is set to something like "3;/tmp/sessions", PHP spits out the following:

PHP Startup: mm_create(0, 3;/tmp/sessions/session_mm_cli0) failed, err mm:core: failed to open semaphore file (No such file or directory) in Unknown on line 0

This is a PHP installed compiled manually from source, downloaded from PHP.net, and not from Gentoo Portage. The necessary paths under /tmp/sessions have been created with the script from ext/sessions. The warning is not presented when directory splitting is not used. During testing, no 3rd party extensions or patches were applied.

Reproduce code:
---------------
In the ini:
session.save_path="3;/tmp/sessions"

php -r 'echo "a line";'


Expected result:
----------------
a line

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: mm_create(0, 3;/tmp/sessions/session_mm_cli0) failed, err mm:core: failed to open semaphore file (No such file or directory) in Unknown on line 0
a line

The split paths are not very useful when using anything else but files 
as session.save_handler. There's no bug here.

It is set to files, per:
session.save_handler = files

So, I contend it is not bogus, as it is spitting out the warning when the handler is set to files.
