It is simpler. We should just leave the array $HTTP_SESSION_VARS in the case when register_globals is on. Currently when the variables are registered they *are* removed from the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array. I do not think this is the intended behaviour. The chance of breaking the existing scripts by having the session variables both as global and in the $HTTP_SESSION_VARS array are minimal. I do not think this is a new feature and just a bugfix... -- alex > > -chuck > > -- > Charles Hagenbuch, <chuck@horde.org> > Number of U.S. nuclear bombs lost in accidents and never recovered: 11 > > -- > PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
