Summary	0000550: Session id format specifier in xdebug.profiler_output_name doesn't work when setting session name outside php.ini
Description	When using the %S format code in xdebug.profiler.output_name setting in xdebug.ini, then it only works when the session name is not touched after reading it from php.ini. Example: php.ini: session_name = PHPSESSID xdebug.ini: xdebug.profiler_output_name = cachegrinder%s.%S and then in my script have something like this: session_name('othername'); session_start(); xdebug will fail to find the session id for 'othername' session.

Operating System	Linux 2.6.18

derick 2010-03-20 01:25 administrator ~0001390	All right, not much I can do about this. The profiler starts and opens the file before PHP starts running. By the time you call session_name() the file has already been created.
