Status: Closed
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 4.1.2
New Comment:
Noticed that most of these emails related to the $_Session not
maintaining the variable value occurred in 2002. Has this been
resolved? I saw mentioned it was resolved with 4.2.0. I am running
4.2.2 on an NT 5.0 system, and experiencing the same problem trying to
process form data from 3 forms. I combined the forms into 1, got rid of
the $_SESSION and just used $_POST, works perfectly. What's the deal,
is it fixed?

rant rant rant rant rant rant rant. I have a splitting headache thanks
to this bug - thought it was DESIGNED that way until I found this
report. You should send out aspirin and cake to everyone who uses
Redhat 7.3 as the php RPM as of RIGHT NOW is 4.1.2.

OK - Here's what I'm getting on my windows box running PHP 4.0.5 , and
also, the simple scripted fix I came up with for it:
Symptoms:
It looks like the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array does indeed contain values
from the session, but values set in the array during the process are
not written into the session. You can only update the session data by
modifying the global literals.
So:
session_register('arse');
$arse = 'working';
Would add $arse to the session data, and the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
But:
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS['arse'] = 'working';
Only adds it to the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array, and not the actual
session data, so the value only exists for the duration of the script
execution.
----HERE'S MY FIX----
This works on my scripts:
Do a kind of backwards iteration over the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS array at
the end of the script. I've placed the following into the end of /cms
and /content on my windows machine:
// $HTTP_SESSION_VARS bugfix
while(list($key , $value) = each($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)){
session_register($key);
$$key = $value;
}
Hope this helps somebody.

Same problem, running W2k sp2, IIS5 and PHP 4.1.2 as CGI module
Only first $_SESSION variable appear. Subsequent session variables are
ignored (not set)
