PHP version: 5.0.3
PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: Session string values are references
Description:
------------
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['name'])){
$_SESSION['name'] = 'Richard Lynch';
}
else{
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
}
/* Assume a ton of code goes here */
$name = 'Fooey';
echo "Session name is: ", $_SESSION['name'], "<br />\n";
?>
Now, hit this page, re-load it, and what do *YOU* expect $_SESSION['name']
to output?
A) 'Richard Lynch', because you never re-assigned $_SESSION['name']
B) 'Fooey' because $name is a reference, and you changed it, so that
changed your session data.
*I* expected A)
Alas, the reality is B)
