[pmwiki-users] CleanUrls/mod_rewrite in subwiki's

[Dawa Ometto]

Hi,

The issue described below turned out not to lie in the CleanURL's  
recipe (occured when I turned that off too). Think I might have  
discovered a bug in pmwiki. When I have the following in a subwiki's  
local/config.php:

session_name('1268404902.04627'); //Unique session name by using  
timestap

...I don't stay authenticated after logging in - clicking any link  
will prompt me for my username/password. When I change it as follows:

session_name('126840490204627');

...everything's fine. Seems like full stops and the like in  
session_name break the session/cookie. D'oh.

Cheers,

Dawa
