Sorry about maybe not very good and detailly formulated topic of mine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 05:09:57] nicos@php.net Superglobals are arrays and need to stay like that. If you want to empty them just $_SESSION = array(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-23 05:05:46] docent@lanparty.lv Assigning to $_SESSION superglobal a NULL value causes Apache running on Windows XP to show the "This programm has performed an illegal operation" message. The interesting thing is that this problem exists only when $_SESSION already contains a non-NULL variable, assigning NULL to an "empty" $_SESSION doesn't show up this issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21163&edit=1
