Has anyone a snipset how to code the sessions "clear" without causing that message at all? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-23 17:05:06] nez at irc dot pl I've set: error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR (even with error_reporting = E_ERROR it works ok) and there's no more that problem - i mean no warning: "Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0" Or.. you can always set register_globals = Off ... ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-18 08:51:59] s at nospam dot org still it is in the latest cvs and snaps. this problem being ignored? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-14 09:03:01] thomas dot hoppe at daimlerchrysler-bank dot com Almost forgot: I worked around by casting to a string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-14 08:46:53] thomas dot hoppe at damlerchrysler-bank dot com I think I've encountered exactly the same bug (?): After registering a null-value my complete session is messed up (most - didn't check whether all - variables are also null). Maybe this is caused by mixing $_GET... with register_globals = on and session_register(...) - which I do currently to migrate to register_globals = off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
