#26278 [Opn->Bgs]: Can not user integer variable in $_SESSION

ID: 26278 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: glumtail at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Of course you can't. RTFM (http://www.php.net/session): "The keys in the $_SESSION associative array are subject to the same limitations as regular variable names in PHP, i.e. they cannot start with a number and must start with a letter or underscore. For more details see the section on variables in this manual."

Reproduce code: --------------- <?php session_start(); print_r($_SESSION); // always can not print $_SESSION[1] $_SESSION[1] = 'TEST'; $_SESSION['TEST'] = 'MY TEST'; print_r($_SESSION); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Result (after refresh): Array ( ) Array ( [1] => TEST [TEST] => MY TEST ) The correct result should be: Array ( [1] => TEST [TEST] => MY TEST ) Array ( [1] => TEST [TEST] => MY TEST ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26278&edit=1
