Session Save

[chadcloman]

I need the help of someone who's familiar with how osCommerce handles sessions. I've searched the source code for a couple days and can't seem to find an answer.

 

Regarding this source file: catalog/includes/functions/sessions.php

 

In

tep_session_close()

, I inserted code to output the results of

session_encode()

, immediately before the call to

session_write_close()

.

 

In

_sess_write()

, I inserted code to output the session encoding string that's written to the database.

Using osCommerce, I can easily create a situation where these two values are different, and at least one encoded variable has a different value. I can't figure out why that's the case. To the best of my knowledge they should be the same, or at least have the same values. What am I missing?

 

I'm using PHP 5.2.6 with register_globals off, and osCommerce 2.2RC2a. The session.serialize_handler is 'php'. Feel free to get technical.
