I'm seeing this as well, on PHP 4.3.0 on Darwin -- it's definately related to sessions. My boss keeps asking why we aren't using Cold Fusion for this project. I'm starting to have trouble coming up with a good answer to keep using PHP..

Try using the empty() or isset() functions on your new $_SESSION global variables. My guess is they will always return true regardless of whether or not that variable actually has a value. At least this was my experience when I did the same thing you did, and went through replacing all my session functions. So for instance, in order to replace: session_is_registered("variable") you'd have to do: !empty($_SESSION["variable"]) unfortunately, it always returns true!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-26 16:07:22] charlesk at netgaintechnology dot com I forgot the session_start(); Still the same behaviour <?php session_start(); $a = 4; $test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; $_SESSION["test"] = $test; $y = 3; $t = 2; $a = 5; echo "$a $t $y"; ?> Output : 5 2 3 <?php session_start(); $a = 4; $test = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; session_register("test"); $y = 3; $t = 2; $a = 5; echo "$a $t $y"; ?> Output: 5 2 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-09 16:38:22] phpbugs at brianmertens dot com Maybe this is related to the bug #22117 , that I reported yesterday? http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22117 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 13:05:49] jseverson at myersinternet dot com Just wanted to check in on this bug and see if any progress has been made...thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
