#19512 [NEW]: PHP 4.2.3 crashes with use of certain variables, unless unset

From: v@paid1.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: PHP 4.2.3 crashes with use of certain variables, unless unset Here is the code that crashes: global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS; $cvar=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["user_name"]; ...so far, everything works OK. But after some more code that uses $cvar, like: if (empty($cvar)), etc, PHP crashes and I get Page Not found! I was able to fix this, by simply adding unset() like this: global $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS; $cvar=$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["user_name"]; unset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["user_name"]); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19512&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19512&r=globals
