Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Status: Open
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: Debian/Linux mips platform
PHP Version: 4.1.2
New Comment:
Here is part of what is going wrong. PHP starts out with each session
variable appearing as a global and also in $_SESSION. Initially these
are linked by reference (not clear how) and contain the same data. On
my pages this linkage appears to get broken so the contents
$GLOBALS['S'] and $_SESSION['S'] are not the same. $GLOBALS contains
the latest data, $_SESSION contains the data as of the start of the
page. Consequently changes to the $_SESSION variable are not being
saved between pages.
My work around is to use the following at the end of each page for $S:
if ( !($_SESSION['S'] === $S) )
$_SESSION['S'] = $S;
This updates the contents of the $_SESSION variable if it is not longer
the same as the global.
Based on a comment from one of the developers, the problem may relate
to having a global declaration for a session variable that appears
outside a function scope. I have these declarations on each of my pages
because PHP used to require them.

I've had the same issue (see bug 15822, which was marked as a
duplicate, though nobody saw fit to tell me what it was a duplicate
of).
Anyone have a work-around?

The session variables are lost between pages.
For example:
session1.php:
<?
session_start();
$test = "Hello world";
session_register(test);
?>
session2.php:
<?
session_start();
echo $test;
?>
The output on page two is the empty string.
A look at the sess_* in /tmp show that it contain the variable and the
value after a request on session1.php.
After a request on session2.php the file is empty.
This error shows up in php 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
In version 4.0.6 everything works as it is suppose to.
