From:             [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: any
PHP version:      4.0.6
PHP Bug Type:     Session related
Bug description:  session_start() inside a function destroys reference to 
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS

The following code doesn't work

<?php
  function start_session() {
    global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
    session_start();
    echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"];
  }
  start_session();
?>

while this one does

<?php
  function start_session() {
    session_start();
    global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
    echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"];
  }
  start_session();
?>
Obviosly after session_start() $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is not
global any more.

(register_globals Off)
