#38875 [Bgs]: no new variables possible after self::$var = $_SESSION

ID: 38875 User updated by: lagemann at x-wars dot net Reported By: lagemann at x-wars dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie PHP Version: 5.1.6 New Comment: Hm, i think its not really a good behaviour that i after some calls can't use new variables in methods. Perhaps it could be a better way to throw an exception, warning or error if I'm trying to assign the magic then doing "nothing" :-).
