RE: [PHP] register_globals odd behaviour?

[Johnson, Kirk]

 I just come across and odd behaviour with the register_globals and
 session handling. The problem is that when I set the register 
 globals to
 on I cannot access the session_variables through the associative array
 HTTP_SESSION_VARS. The manual says explicitly that with track_vars and
 register_globals both on the array and the vars will point to 
 the same. 

I believe this was a bug in all versions prior to 4.0.6, globals and
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS did *not* reference the same value while on the current
page, in spite of what the manual says. So, either upgrade to 4.0.6, or use
the global version of session variables rather than the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
array.

[PHP] register_globals odd behaviour?

[Sean C. McCarthy]

Hi All,

I just come across and odd behaviour with the register_globals and
session handling. The problem is that when I set the register globals to
on I cannot access the session_variables through the associative array
HTTP_SESSION_VARS. The manual says explicitly that with track_vars and
register_globals both on the array and the vars will point to the same. 

It just doesn't happen the vars are not written at the end of the
script. I mean with register_globals ON:

?
session_register(count);
$HTTP_SESSION_VARS[count]++;
?

this does not work. My php is PHP Version 4.0.3pl1 running on Linux
2.2.18 and Apache1.3.9 . Does this bogus behaviour happen with higher
versions too?

Thanks in advance.
