From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: Windows 2000 Server
PHP version: 4.3.0
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: session_register doesnt like null values
<?php
session_start();
$source = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
session_register("source");
$connection = mssql_connect('server','UserName','password');
$sql = "select * from tbl;";
echo "$sql $connection<br>";
$sql_result = mssql_query($sql,$connection);
$num = mssql_num_rows($sql_result);
$retVal = "Records = ".$num;
if ($num > 0) {
mssql_data_seek($sql_result,0);
$row = mssql_fetch_object($sql_result);
$retVal = $row->Text;
}
mssql_free_result($sql_result);
echo $retVal;
?>
In this case the mssql_query fails with:
PHP Warning: mssql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MS SQL-Link
resource.
if I simply comment the $source = $_SERVER... it succeeds.
If I change session_register to $_SESSION["source"] = $source; it
succeeds.
I am not sure how these are related.
What is even weirder is the echo "$sql $connection<br>";
They echo what is expected when it works. When it doesnt whichever was
defined first is the value for both.
IE When it fails as it is written
select * from tbl_Texts; select * from tbl_Texts;
If you change
$connection = mssql_connect('server','UserName','password');
$sql = "select * from tbl;";
to
$sql = "select * from tbl;";
$connection = mssql_connect('server','UserName','password');
it echos
Resource id #3 Resource id #3
I will in the future use $_SESSION but there are alot of files to change
if this wont be fixed.
Thanks
