>Just set "session.bug_compat_42 = 0" in your php.ini
You are asking me to hide the bug (maybe my bug maybe PHP one). Of
course I will do this for my little app when it i deployed but I just
want this feature to be treated as BUG unless there is an explanation
to it! I did try to set session.bug_compat_42 to OFF before submitting
the bug report. Yes, it did hide it - but this is not a solution as the
message clearly says I am doing the WRONG thing.
So, what wrong thing (bug) am I doing??? And if none - it is clearly
PHP bug.
>And btw. correct way to unset session variables is to use 'unset()'
Well, you are right that to unset the variable you use unset but what
if I do not want to unset it but just want to NULL its value???
>and this error message actually tells you that you're doing >something
wrong.
What am I doing wrong? Should the warning let me know (at least) line
number of the "wrong code"? I want to correct my code rather than "hide
the bug" or I want to flag this PHP bug so that it is fixed in the
subsequent PHP release

Just set "session.bug_compat_42 = 0" in your php.ini.
(or if you're using apache, in .htaccess file, using php_value)
The error message clearly says:
"..unless register_globals is enabled.."
"..You can disable this functionality and this warning by
setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off.."
And btw. correct way to unset session variables is to use 'unset()',
and this error message actually tells you that you're doing something
wrong.

Is register_globals on or off? Try this:
<?php echo ini_get('register_globals'); ?>

Description:
------------
1.
After running the following source code I get:
================================================
Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session
side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the
session extension does not consider global variables as a source of
data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this
functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or
session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0
================================================
I expect no such warning as I am not using any register_globals etc I
am only using the suggested session handling API: session_start &
$_SESSION array.
2. Also found:
By changing the last 2 lines to:
//$_SESSION["test"] = NULL;
unset($_SESSION["test"]);
warning disappears.
By changing "$test = " to "$test2 = " warning disappears either.
Shall it be the feature I would appreciate if you send me an
explanation of this feature as it does not make any sense to me.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
session_start();
$test =
isset($_SESSION["test"])
? $_SESSION["test"]
: "test";
$_SESSION["test"] = NULL;
//unset($_SESSION["test"]);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I expect not to have this warning as I am not using any
register_globals etc I am only using the suggested session handling
API: session_start & $_SESSION array.
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session
side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the
session extension does not consider global variables as a source of
data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this
functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or
session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0
