There is no mention of the old style HTTP_*_VARS arrays anywhere in my code. Smarty does use them by default, but I've turned that off. I'm also avoiding old-style session_register, only using current functions like session_start, session_name, session_destroy and putting everything in $_SESSION. Someone pointed me at his bug: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34542 I've been trying to come up with a small test case but no luck so far (so the bug remains with feedback status). xdebug is now working under 5.1RC5-dev but it doesn't trace quite how I thought it did. I suspect we might have more bug reports if more people were turning register_long_arrays off!

[PHP] Sessions and register_long_arrays
Strange behaviour that's taken me ages to track down. I have the situation where I can create a session, but any changes to it are not saved. session_write_close() didn't help. Eventually I tracked it down: if you have register_long_arrays disabled (as is the default in PHP5), this can happen. Enabling it fixed the problem. A very simple test case didn't show this problem, so I guess something in my sessions has a dependency on HTTP_GET_VARS or similar, though these old-style vars do not appear anywhere in my code... Some of the libraries I'm using may use them (for example Smarty, though I have the request_use_auto_globals option enabled for that which should stop it using them), but nothing to do with them is stored in the session. If I look at a session file, it's all just scalars and arrays, no complex types at all, but changing an item in $_SESSION simply does not get saved back to the session file if register_long_arrays is enabled. Anyone else seen this? Any idea why it might be happening?

I've also tried using it with the mm session save handler and I get the same symptoms. I also get identical results on OS X and Linux. FYI, I want to disable this setting for increased performance, especially as I'm not using these old arrays anyway.
