Bug #15696 Updated: Can't set/unset global-ed variables

ID: 15696 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: marekm@aptus.pl -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux & Win32 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.

It IS possible to change the value od $id inside the 'test' function, it's just not possible to change the set/unset state. It's easy to omit the problem by unsetting $GLOBALS["id"] variable, but I think it should be possible to unset the global-ed variable in both ways. The problem affects all PHP 4.x versions. The 3.x versions work as I expect. Regards, Marek Matula ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15696&edit=1
