Read the NEWS file. I don't know if this was specifically fixed in it or if it was some side-effect of some other bug that was fixed or if you're doing something wrong. I can just say that this works fine in PHP versions >= 4.3.3 (used in one other host I have some stuff running on) We have no resources to support old versions anyway. If you say you're using any older PHP version than the latest release it causes the report to be bogus automatically. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 21:57:12] dayal at capital-merchant dot com So was this bug present in 4.3.2 and has been rectified in 4.3.4? If not, what could be the reason why associative arrays are failing when used as session variables in my case? I just want to confirm the above before upgrading my php version. Thanks in advance Dayal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 19:59:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP. Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. Works (and has worked) fine with PHP 4.3.4 in production since release. (heavily using sessions and also storing associative arrays in them) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-11 17:43:08] dayal at capital-merchant dot com 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27226&edit=1
