Was Subject: PHP Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time.

I'm seeing the following errors on my gallery after updating from PHP 4.3.11 to 4.4.1:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0, referer: ...

All was working fine before the PHP update. I've seen a number of referencs via google, but nothing helpful.

Anyone know how to fix?

Thanks,

Is anyone using PHP 4.4.1 successfully with Gallery 1.5.1 ?

I've found the cause for the problem(s) I mentioned here - it is due to a bug in PHP 4.4.1. Using PHP 4.4.1 unpatched will result in gallery hangs, and misleading error messages in the web log.

The fix is to use either the latest stable snapshot version of php, or patch 4.4.1.

Latest PHP: http://snaps.php.net/
Patch: http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php-src/ext/standard/basic_functions.c?r1=1.543.2.51.2.3&r2=1.543.2.51.2.4&ty=u
