Hello! Trouble with caching $_SESSION ( fixed!!! )

Quote from: BobRay at Nov 21, 2011, 03:08 PM

I think the problem is more likely to be with the server configuration than MODX.

It could be a problem with session.save_path and/or session.gc_maxlifetime.

Who is your host and is it a windows or *nix server?

FreeBSD virtual server (jail machine).

No server. But session variable is defined cached value.
I find that value in /tmp folder (where sessions files), in site folder - no match...
And find in mysql that value - in mysql finded!
In table modx_session (modx_ - is prefix)

You can look for the money and tell - what's really going on? I can give you access ftp in manageryu How much will it cost?

Now the situation is as follows:
On page: http://new777.veterany.org/forum/vstrechi.html
call script assets/components/captcha/captcha.php in tag <img>. That script must defined session variable $_SESSION['veriword'] = $code;
If I loguot in mgr and web, from every contexts, damping $_SESSION['veriword'] == NULL

If login in mgr context - damp variable $_SESSION['veriword'] take first value of defined in captcha.php, then then the same value first $_SESSION['veriword'] from cache in table modx_session - despite the fact that captcha.php take different value....

I'm sorry, Petja. I'm the wrong person for that job. I'm not an expert in server configuration and I don't use FormIt.

Maybe someone else will be interested.

BTW, you could switch to reCaptcha, which is more secure and (I think) doesn't use the $_SESSION array. [ed. note: BobRay last edited this post 14 years, 11 months ago.]

I can not stop until I do not understand why modx caches the session, and how to get it to update a certain value. This is not server problem. May be FormIt, but I have not gotten to it...

This is problem modx!
I withiut FormIt output <img="captcha.php" /> and snippet [[!snipname]] where
<?php
echo $_SESSION['veriword'];

And dont work. Modx cached session in DB and dont update it...
Why did it????????????.........

Why if i open captcha.php in a separate window, and refresh page with snippet <?php echo $_SESSION['veriword'];
then value of $_SESSION['veriword'] refreshed!

But if open snippet and call <img src="captcha.php... - value of $_SESSION['veriword'] - cached and one and the same from cache???


Help me PLEASE four week going....

captcha.php must be called with a different argument each time to make sure the value is refreshed. Something like this:



SPform does that. I don't know if FormIt does or not.

captcha.php nothing to do with if you run the code, where any session variable set to any value, then the session cached, and if you change this value, it still displays modx first cached value!

My hosting conflicting with modSessionHandler. On another hosting worked... But i dont know which is why it did not work...

But i disable his (modSessionHandler) on manager -> System -> System Settings -> session_handler_class -> clear value...

And all works.

Yhanks All for help!
