Bug description: Some postgres features fail when used with $_SESSION
superglobal
Description:
------------
pg_last_notice() fails in very specific circumstances. The failure seems
to happen under only a very specific set of circumstances.
- The $_SESSION superglobal is used to hold a db connection resource.
- There is an active session.
- The database connection is made in an included file.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<? // filename - thisworks.php
session_start();
$_SESSION["dbconn"]=pg_connect("dbname=meridican user=postgres
password=");
$result=pg_query($_SESSION["dbconn"],$sql);
echo pg_last_notice($_SESSION["dbconn"]); ?>
<? // filename - thisdoesntwork.php
session_start();
include("dbconn.php");
$result=pg_query($_SESSION["dbconn"],$sql);
echo pg_last_notice($_SESSION["dbconn"]); ?>
<? // filename - dbconn.php
$_SESSION["dbconn"]=pg_connect("dbname=meridican user=postgres
password="); ?>
Expected result:
----------------
In the example, the output from thisworks.php is the notice raised by
postgres. The same result could be expected from the nearly identical code
run in thisdoesntwork.php.
Actual result:
--------------
In actuality, thisdoesntwork.php outputs a blank.
