Whenever I change the session.name variable like this:

ini_set('session.name', 'SESSIONID');

I get this intermittent error:

Warning: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in func.database.inc on line 101

The offending code on line 101 is this:

if(preg_match('/^select/i', $sql)) $rows = db_num_rows($result);

Although it's not limited to this code, when using the PEAR db layer it came a cropper on that too. The code there also contained a preg function. (Line 331 of DB.php IIRC)

If I don't change the session.name variable, the error never happens.

Configure line:

'./configure' '--with-apache=../httpd' '--with-mysql' '--with-ftp' '--with-config-file-path=/www/conf' '--enable-dbase' '--with-pgsql=/usr/include/pgsql' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-imap' '--enable-sockets'

The proper way to change the session name is to use session_name().

If there are any other problems related to ini_set(), please file a separate bug report.

Thank you.
