Oh, I should mention--- if you visit my demonstration, copy the link
into your browser, do not click on it from here. If $HTTP_REFERER is
actually set to something other than NULL the bug does not occur.

Hi,
I am sorry to hear the frustration!
My script is self contained, and is of the minimum length to reproduce
the problem. Just add some php tags!
If you want to see similar code in action, see here:
http://www.stephensykes.com/holwiz/
Note that the bug only occurs if you are creating the session for the
first time - hence the session destroy at the top.
If you session_register the variable $r before setting it, the bug does
not occur.
More specifically, it is only AFTER $r is registered that all variable
assignments begin to take on the last value assigned.
Regards
Stephen.

I'm completely baffled here. Can you please explain how the two
self-contained short scripts provided above are NOT samples of
"_SHORT_, _COMPLETE_ and _SELF CONTAINED_ example
scripts" ??
We've given you code to produce the bug in less than 20 lines. I don't
know how many lines you are expecting us to reproduce the bug with?
Thanks

Please provide a _SHORT_, _COMPLETE_ and _SELF CONTAINED_ example
script. It's still some bug in your script, NOT in PHP..

Ok, this is happening in 4.3.0. It does not happen in 4.2.2.
Here is some self contained code:
session_start();
session_destroy();
session_start();
$r = $HTTP_REFERER;
session_register( "r" );
echo "<p>r is ";
var_dump($r);
$z = 0;
$x = 999;
$y = 777;
echo "<p>x is " . $x . "\n";
echo "<p>z is " . $z . "\n";
echo "<p>y is " . $y . "\n";
I get $r is NULL, and 777 for all three of $x, $y and $z from this
script.
Something is badly wrong.

Haven't heard anything back on this bug in a while. Just wondering what
the status was on this one, or if you've had any luck reproducing it
with the code segment I provided.
