#37426 [Opn->Bgs]: variable scoping? session?

ID: 37426 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: winterain at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable. .
