PHP Bug Type: Session related
Bug description: $_SESSION not saving when an element's index contains pipe
'|' character
Description:
------------
A script registers a variable in $_SESSION using and index value which
contains a pipe ("|"),
ie
$index = "some|index";
$_SESSION[$index]="some variable";
I expected this variable (and any other variables registered in $_SESSION)
to be stored, and made available to other script(s) executed in the same
session for the lifetime of the session cookie.
However, subseqent access to $_SESSION indicates that the $_SESSION
variable contains no data at all.
This only seems to occur following the use of the pipe ("|") character in
the element's index.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start();
print_r($_SESSION);
$_SESSION["some|variable"]="some value";
print_r($_SESSION);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
First execution:
Array ( ) Array ( [some|variable] => some value )
Second & Subsequent execution
Array ( [some|variable] => some value ) Array ( [some|variable] => some
value )
Actual result:
--------------
First execution:
Array ( ) Array ( [some|variable] => some value )
Second & Subsequent execution
Array ( ) Array ( [some|variable] => some value )
