ID: 23615 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: melo00 at msn dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Windows 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'.

"The session ID is " It doesn't even recognize that the value was assigned to ID, Is there something that I didn't turn on in my PHP configuration, or is it a PHP bug By the way, Im running apache server 2 (latest version as of May 10, 2003) PHP4.3.1 and MySQL And please, If my little function above is not coded correctly, please excuse me, it's only a sample I came up with on the fly to show my problem, and I have never ever before coded PHP before 2 days ago, but if I understand PHP correctly, thats the closest I can come to a real function without looking at actual code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23615&edit=1
