Bug description: associative arrays as session variables
Description:
------------
PHP Version: 4.3.2
------------------
Hi,
I am using an associative array as a session variable.
Randomly this variable fails in the sense that all values corresponding to
the keys are lost.
To see if this problem is specific to associative arrays I have added
another simple variable to the session. The application is able to
retrieve this other variable from the session all the time, even when the
associative array fails.
Is there any problem using associative arrays as session variables in
php??
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start();
$ar = array();
$ar["name"] = "xxxx";
$ar["password"] = "yyyyy";
$_SESSION["arrayvariable"] = $ar;
$_SESSION["numericvariable"] = 30;
Header("Location: test2.php");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
test2.php
---------
<?php
session_start();
echo "Your name: ".$_SESSION["arrayvariable"]["name"];
echo "Numeric value: ".$_SESSION["numericvariable"];
?>
Expected Result:
---------------
Your name: xxxx
Numeric value: 30
Actual result:
--------------
Your name:
Numeric value: 30
