#29626 [Opn->Fbk]: Variables read from $_SESSION loose their values when using HTTP

ID: 29626 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: proteus at proteusworld dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux (might be Windows too) PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: HTTP & HTTPS are two different sites for your browser, so you're mixing two different sessions here. Please, supply more readable example - a short reproduce script would definitely help more than a verbose essay.

Let's say that $_SESSION["message"] contains "old_message". Take the following code: $old_message = $_SESSION["message"]; $_SESSION["message"] = "new message"; echo "The message was: ".$old_message; Now, over HTTP you would get the expected output ("old_message"). But over HTTPS the output will contain "new_message". You can use session_unregister("message") if you want $old_message to preserve its value, but this means you can't set anymore a new value for $_SESSION["message"]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29626&edit=1
