Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:04:37 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6722 persistent_params not set or asked in conf.xml When using e.g. the sql session handler together with memcache conf.xml is not setting or asking for the persistent_params used in SessionHandler.php. if ($driver == 'memcached') { // Trap for old driver name. $driver = 'memcache'; } elseif (($driver != 'memcache') && !empty($params['memcache'])) { $driver = 'memcache'; unset($params['memcache']); $persistent_params = array('persistent_driver' => $driver, 'persistent_params' => $params); $params = null; } This causes that the sessions are actually not stored in the sql database and therefore the are not persisted.

All this code is doing is saving the original params (for the persistent driver) so that the memcache driver can later pass these params on to the persistent driver. It's just a temporary holding place to allow us to pass driver information between classes. $driver is replaced with 'memcache' and $params is replaced with the params needed for the 'memcache' driver, so we need a way to make sure the original values aren't blown away. Nowhere are we trying to load 'persistent_params' from the conf.xml, and there is absolutely no reason we would ever want to.

Now when trying to understand this and get everything right, shouldn't "$driver = 'memcache';" be set after setting the "$persistent_params" array to which "$driver" is passed? When I read the code above, then "memcache" is passed to this array, is this intended? Sorry if this question is stupid, but I couldn't figure out something else that causes my sessions not to be saved in the sql session table.
