Hello,

I would like to subscribe an error, which I've found in PHP. This error occurs under some circumstances when trying to start session. I was trying to browse some web pages, which uses sessions in its PHP scripts and I allways got this error message:


Warning: session_start() [function.session-start
<http://www.php.net/function.session-start>]: The session id contains
illegal characters, valid characters are only a-z, A-Z and 0-9 in
d:\web\transfor\transfornet\login.php on line 4


So I have contacted the authors and after all we have found, that the only way to resolve this problem is changing my IP. After contacting my provider and changing my IP it worked...

The error occured while using IP 195.122.219.13
After it was changed to 195.122.219.14 it is fine now. It seems to me, that session ID is generated using IP address and in some specific circumstances it gives not valid results.


Sincerely,

Jiri Kalous, Czech Republic
