Re: [Phplib-users] is phplib compatible with Apache 2.0?

[Andrew C. <ph...@ev...>]

Greetings,

I think there are a still a few people lurking here and I'm sure there 
are still people using phplib.

I haven't run into any problems running phplib-based applications with 
the old sessioning under Apache 2.  I have a couple of systems that are 
under fairly heavy use and have seen no incidents of session data 
getting switched as you describe.  However, I will look for it more 
closely, now.

As for switching to php4 session support: that didn't work out for me. 
As I posted to this list back in February, there seems to be a bug in 
the phplib php4 session code that generates a warning.  I don't think 
that is necessarily a show stopper but, it's not ideal.

I was going to have a look and see if I could find the problem but, I 
started running in to some other erratic behavior with one of my apps 
that was cured immediately by going back to the original sessioning code.

There was some discussion here sometime back that concluded that it 
probably doesn't make much difference which sessioning one uses and that 
the old sessioning code might even be more efficient.  So, I really 
haven't pursued stomping the bug.
