#19512 [Fbk->Csd]: PHP 4.2.3 crashes with use of certain variables, unless unset

ID: 19512 User updated by: v@paid1.com Reported By: v@paid1.com -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, my mistake. It wasn't a PHP bug, but an error in my coding! There was a loop where a function called itself again and again infinitely until the script simply quits... Sorry about that, now I have fixed it. Please erase this bug report. Thank you.

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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19512&edit=1
