PHP 4.0 Bug #8772 Updated: user level session storage fails when register_globals off

ID: 8772 User Update by: serge@freezefotoz.com Old-Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: *Session related Description: user level session storage fails when register_globals off Yes I did, I followed the examples described in the latest documentation. session_register("test"); $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['test'] = '12345'; when I try to print on another page, echo "session var test = $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[test]"; it comes up empty...? When I look in the database, I have a session record, but the data is empty?

The user level storage module gets exactly the same set of data as the other modules. In fact, there is no distinction in the session module as to how the data is stored. - Sascha --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-01-17 20:36:03] serge@freezefotoz.com When using a user level session storage method to db for example, if register_globals is off, a session record is added to the database, but it contains no serialized data. The data portion is empty. If I turn register_globals on, the the database record for the session contains the serialized data. Is this a bug or a feature???
