------------
re-submitting this bug, cause: "You can not comment bogus reports or change their status."

backslashes in the session.save_path are not properly escaped when
printed out in an error message


[29 Jan 12:10am UTC] tony2001@php.net

Printing "C:\" doesn't require any escaping.
It's you who needs to escape the slashes when you enter them in your
php.ini.

since when? and where is this written?

if you are right than at least this is a documentation bug

but i do not think so

from php.ini-recommended:

[...]
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes"
[...]

and \ in session save path works, it is just the error message which is wrong! and using 'c:\temp' always worked and still works as expected.

the problem is not the error displayed, the problem is in the displayed error. (the error was a local problem already fixed)

Reproduce code:
---------------
php.ini:

session.save_path = "C:\temp"

continue a session without valid session file


Expected result:
----------------
session_start() : open(C:\temp\sess_ifj79uququ2tu2gnhu8ol2cs81, O_RDWR)
failed: Invalid argument (22)


Actual result:
--------------
session_start() : open(C: emp\sess_ifj79uququ2tu2gnhu8ol2cs81, O_RDWR)
failed: Invalid argument (22)
