#22389 [NEW]: $_POST vars overwrites $_SESSION vars, if register_globals=on

From: ng4rrjanbiah at rediffmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: $_POST vars overwrites $_SESSION vars, if register_globals=on For me, register_globals = on; $_SESSION['foo'] = 'xxx'; ...Then form operations that post few data including $_POST['foo']='yyy' ...Now the value of $_SESSION['foo'] is set to 'yyy' My server's PHP version is 4.3.0...The above bug is really a big problem for me...I've developed a part of the module for our big project...I've developed with the idea of register_globals=off, but other people develped with the idea of register_globals=on...And in the server, they've put it with register_globals=on... and I've started experiencing the above problem... It worked fine on my local system (PHP4.2.3) with register_globals=off. As, the module is related to login & session, it is a very big problem for me. Any workaround? -R.
