This is bad and can lead to lost hours/money for developer. I am just asking for this sort of assignment to fail in a far more obvious manner. Reproduce code: --------------- $_SESSION['1234'] = "boooo!" Expected result: ---------------- I expect the session variable to be stored or else fail miserably like this assignment would $123 = "dummy!" Actual result: -------------- the session variable with a numeric key is never stored ... and it might take a developer a while to figure out why, as other session vars are stored just fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44545&edit=1
