From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: linux redhat 7.1 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: unexpected behaviour 1. when register_globals is off you have to SET and READ HTTP_SESSION_VARS this is wrong in the docs or at least confusing (example 1 on http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php ) BUG 2. session_register cannot be called from inside another funcion (when trying a by reference call this generates a call-time reference error on some servers) function & sess_reg($x){ global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS; session_register(& $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$x]); $GLOBALS[$x] = & $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$x]; } //session_start(); sess_reg("foo"); echo $foo++; when using session_register($HTTP_SESSION_VARS[$x]); the variable is NOT registered. and when used by reference (as in example above) generates a "Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value;" Tr909 -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12600&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
