From:             akauffman at ne4u dot com

PHP version:      7.0.1
Package:          Session related
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:session.hash_function - algorithm changes

Description:
------------
Setting session.hash_function via php.ini does not remain consistent, it
goes back to default algorithm after session_regenerate_id().  You must
use ini_set in the script for the hashing algorithm to remain
consistent.


BTW - This bug seems to have been reintroduced.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
//ini_set('session.hash_function','sha512');
session_start();
$orig = session_id();
session_regenerate_id();
$new = session_id();
echo("$orig <br> $new");
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Hashing algorithm remains sha512.
