I forgot the session_start(); Still the same behaviour
<?php
session_start();
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
$_SESSION["test"] = $test;
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
Output : 5 2 3
<?php
session_start();
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
session_register("test");
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
Output: 5 2 2

The first one works, the second one does not.
<?php
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
$_SESSION["test"] = $test;
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
<?php
$a = 4;
$test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
session_register("test");
$y = 3;
$t = 2;
$a = 5;
echo "$a $t $y";
?>
If this is buggy code please tell me how.
I ended up going through _EVERY_ site that we host and changing
session_register to $_SESSION.

Ok, sorry, I didn't realize we weren't allowed to use Oracle in our
samples. Can you please follow these steps then to reproduce the bug:
1. Copy and paste the following code into a file, save file with .php
extension.
_______________________________________________________
<?php
session_start();
$r = $HTTP_REFERER;
echo "<h2>PHP 4.3.0 BUG</h2>";
echo "<p>r is ";
var_dump($r);
$w = "hello";
session_register( "r" );
$x = "bananas";
$y = 5;
$z = 777;
echo "<p>w is " . $w . " (should be \"hello\")\n";
echo "<p>x is " . $x . " (should be \"bananas\")\n";
echo "<p>y is " . $y . " (should be 5)\n";
echo "<p>z is " . $z . " (should be 777)\n";
?>
________________________________________________________
2. Open up the file you just saved in a web browser, copy the url in
your browser, and then close the browser. (Goal is to make sure
$HTTP_REFERER is null.)
3. Open up a clean browser, and paste the url to that file location and
press enter.
4. You should see the weird assignment statements there.
Just so you can see what my browser said, here is my output:
PHP 4.3.0 BUG
r is NULL
w is hello (should be "hello")
x is 777 (should be "bananas")
y is 777 (should be 5)
z is 777 (should be 777)
Thanks, and sorry for not providing a short, complete, self-contained
sample script earlier. I misunderstood the definition of short,
complete, self-contained script.

So far every script in this report is buggy and can't
possibly work. So fix your scripts first.
Self-contained means that they can be run anywhere,
regardless if there is oracle available or not.
(ie. get rid of the oracle stuff in it)
Short means it's less that 15 lines.
Complete means it's all there, between <?php and ?> tags.
