Hi Sniper,
I'll wait until an RC3 eventuates, rather than trying to build this
right now.
In addition to this morning's message, I have now discovered that part
of my frustration was that there were TWO bugs in PHP-4.2.3 in the same
piece of login script code!
1. session_register() is apparently quirky, as stated earlier.
2. The one I just discovered is that header() is apparently also
broken. I had already mentioned a different behaviour depending on the
way the URL is included (see original message in this report) but have
just isolated that header() is evidently not doing enough to ensure the
browser knows it has been redirected.
This will have unreliable results:
header("Location: $CFG->wwwroot/index.php");
This will not:
redirect("$CFG->wwwroot/index.php");
function redirect($url, $message="", $delay=0) {
/* redirects to a new URL using meta tags */
echo "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content='$delay; url=$url'>";
if (!empty($message)) echo "<div style='font-family: Arial,
Sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;' align=center>$message</div>";
die;
}
Ignoring the fancy formatting if you can, it looks like header() isn't
flushing the browser.
Hope this helps.

Iliaa,
My reply of 2 Dec 9:17pm contains a small script which demonstrates
this fault. Don't know what else you want here. If you run this, you'll
see "Dead session!!". Thus either session_register() or isset() is
misbehaving compared to versions prior 4.2.3
<?
session_start();
session_register("SESSION");
if (! isset($SESSION)) { echo("Dead session!!<br>"); }
?>

Please use $_SESSION autoglobals rather then register_session to assing

hmm... maybe Sniper should start charging for support then; he would
make a very decent living out out it with all the time he spends on
verifying bugs and trying to help people with bugs.
