Bug description:Array keys in $_SESSION with "!" unsets the whole array in PHP
5.3.3
Description:
------------
Array keys in $_SESSION containing exclamation marks (!) does not seem to
work anymore as of 5.3.3.
Have tried key with different characters like #, " and £ - these worked.
Using "!" in the key seems not only to be unregistered but also to make the
whole $_SESSION to be unset in the next run.
This worked before, as in 5.2.x.
Test script:
---------------
<?
# (as we're talking sessions, this example need to be run 2 times to set
the session data, push F5...)
session_start();
$name = 'hello'; # this does work, uncomment/comment to test
$name = 'hello!'; # this does not, uncomment/comment to test
echo $_SESSION[$name];
$_SESSION[$name] = 'OK';
?>
Expected result:
----------------
That array keys containing exclamation marks ("!") either give a
understandable error or does work as any other key.
Actual result:
--------------
The whole array is being totally empty if a key containing exclamation mark
is entered.
