So what is the diffirent between :

Use the first method to create session variables when register_globals is "off" in the php.ini file. Use the second method when it is "On".

First, there is a bit of a coding error here. The two examples should be:
session_start (); $_SESSION['eventid'] = 'arma2';
and
session_start ();
session_register('eventid');Second, the documentation indicates that if you turn off register globals you must us the super global $_SESSION[]. But, it later says that $_SESSION[] and session_register() set the same values. (It does talk about a problem with this in 4.2.3 that is fixed in 4.3)
My question is what is the effect of mixing these two techniques. For example with register globals off should:
session_start ();
session_register('eventid');
$_SESSION['eventid'] = 'foo';Does the session_register() hurt? What is the interaction?
The larger question for us a PRIDE is we have quite a bit of code that assumes register globals is on and we are doing new development where we would like to the the super global $_SESSION[] support instead of the older techniques. What are the consequences of mixing the two techniques?
Thanks in advance,
Bill
