[SM-DEVEL] Custom session handler errors with squirrelmail-20071111_0000-SVN.devel.tar.gz

[Jeff R. <jr...@wy...>]

Hi,

I very recently switched to a database backed custom session handler, 
which promptly broke my 1.5.1 SquirrelMail. After reviewing the svn 
notes, I downloaded squirrelmail-20071111_0000-SVN.devel.tar.gz which 
includes patch 12756 by pdontthink.

This hasn't fixed the problem, though.

As referenced in the commit message, I'm using to auto_prepend_file to 
load my custom session handler.

auto_prepend_file = /conf/pgsql_session_handler.php

The rest of my changed session variables as set in php.ini are:

session.save_handler = user
session.save_path = php_sessions
session.use_cookies = 1
session.name = WCAASESSID
session.auto_start = 0
session.cookie_lifetime = 86400

pgsql_session_handler.php contains the session handling functions and 
the  following code:

/* Register the session handling functions with PHP. */
session_set_save_handler(
     'pgsql_session_open',
     'pgsql_session_close',
     'pgsql_session_read',
     'pgsql_session_write',
     'pgsql_session_destroy',
     'pgsql_session_gc'
);
session_start();
?>

I followed the directions coded in src/init.php and added my 
custom_session_handlers array definition to config/config_local.php.

When I attempt to login, I simply get a blank page, with no error 
message generated to the logs by php.

The custom session handler is working fine with our inhouse apps and has 
eliminated some of the weird loss of session variable errors.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
