custom session_name() prevents session from starting

[andersce100]

I've been using this excellent script for over a year, with no problems.

But after an upgrade to PHP version: 5.6.16 the custom sec_session kills the session. If I start the session directly:

_session_start() _

then the login works but without the custom session name and cookies ect.

If I comment out this line:

session_name($session_name);

Then the login works. When I un-comment that line it breaks the login again.

Any wisdom is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Acording to this http://marc.info/?l=php-doc-bugs&m=120303453328364&w=2
you cannot set session name via session_name($session_name) if it's set using php_admin_value in httpd.conf (it's feature not bug). It happens on shared hosting accounts.
