PHP 4.0 Bug #6446: Session Array Variable Append

From: nathan@cjhunter.com Operating system: Linux 2.0.36 PHP version: 4.0.1pl2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Session Array Variable Append When using php sessions with a registered array variable; if that variable is set before the call to session_start() is made, instead of overwriting the variable with the stored session value I request php check if that variable is already set and do an array_merge() on the two arrays. This is useful for accumulating key and value pairs. Example first.. <? $input = array(); session_register("input"); ?> then.. <? // Upon form submission at session_start() the input variable is overwritten session_start(); var_dump($input); ?> <form> <input type="text" name="input[<?echo time()?>]"> <input type="submit"> </form>
