Bug #16818 Updated: unset doesn't unset session array

ID: 16818 Updated by: dexxter@nothing.ch Reported By: dexxter@nothing.ch -Status: Analyzed +Status: Closed Bug Type: Session related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: - unset doesn't work as expected if reg_glob is off. setting reg_glob to 'on' makes unset working again. only workaround is to dereference if globals are on. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-25 08:19:05] dexxter@nothing.ch reporter feedback: do you mean the: foreach ($my_array as $element ) { unset($element) ; } workaround? or is there any better? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-25 07:46:12] yohgaki@php.net This bug is a kind of design bug, but it's easily fixed. We need to get rid of PS(vars) and use PS(http_session_vars) as a main session storage. There are some other options, though. To reporter: You know work around mentioned in the manual, right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-25 05:12:25] dexxter@nothing.ch unsetting several vars saved in a session doesn't work. eg: $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["arr_myfirstarray"] = array("foo","bar"); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["arr_mysecondarray"] = array("foo","bar"); unset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["arr_myfirstarray"],$HTTP_SESSION_VARS["arr_mysecondarray"]); doesn't unset the variables in the session. it does unset them for the current script, but doesn't remove them from the SESSION-array correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16818&edit=1
