Bug #17435 Updated: unset() of the globalized variable

ID: 17435 Updated by: ivun@mail.ru Reported By: ivun@mail.ru Status: Bogus Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: Linux/Windows PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Sure. My script works with sockets and there is a function that closes the socket and destroys all the variables connected to it. $output and $input are arrays of sockets. Here is the code: function socket_kill_my_socket($i) { global $fset, $output, $input; $fnd = array_search($i, $fset); unset($fset[$fnd]); unset($output[$i]); unset($input[$i]); socket_shutdown($i); //??? socket_close($i); echo "Closed $i<BR>"; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-26 15:04:26] goba@php.net Can you please provide us with a code where we can reproduce what you've said? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-26 13:34:55] ivun@mail.ru Are you completely sure? But why are the globalized variables destroyed in my scripts? Ps. Another bug is handling ' and \ in Bug Report system :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-26 13:23:20] derick@php.net Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php Thank you for your interest in PHP. unset()\'s documentation is perfectly right on this point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-26 13:21:42] ivun@mail.ru The article about unset() says: "If a globalized variable is unset() inside of a function, only the local variable is destroyed. The variable in the calling environment will retain the same value as before unset() was called." It is != true! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17435&edit=1
