RE: [PHP-DEV] Sessions, session_register()
Where did you find that recommendation? http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php Read the note :) I thought it was kind of strange myself... If this is changed in 4.3 I will update the docs to reflect this, but I wanted to see what everyone had to say about it first.

Which is the side effect of which? Are users supposed to use $_SESSION, or the functions? Or should both be able to be used interchangeably?

Re: [PHP-DEV] Sessions, session_register()
Isn't that an error that 4.2.3 throws when session_register() is used as well as registering directly in $_SESSION? So the message is not easily comprehensible, I suppose. There is no problem when you have register_globals enabled and you mix session_register and use of $_SESSION. The problem stems from the fact that some users have been (ab)using session_register when register_globals is off. session_register is only supposed to be used for the register_globals=on case. This was possible due to a defect in the module which has been addressed. The warning is displayed, if the module notices that someone is (ab)using the old side-effect. - Sascha -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Those functions need to be updated in the manual then to reflect this change. If I say PHP = 4.3.0 only allows session_register(), session_is_registered(), and session_unregister() if register_globals is enabled will that suffice?
