#41854 [Opn->Bgs]: Bug when php try to serialize a array with a number for key

ID: 41854 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: leonardo dot celis at ohstudio dot com dot ar -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The $_SESSION super-global cannot contain keys that are entirely numeric because it causes problems for register globals when every key becomes a variable and PHP does not allow entirely numeric variable names.
