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

ID: 8772 User Update by: serge@freezefotoz.com Status: Open Bug Type: *Session related Operating system: RH Linux 7.0 PHP Version: 4.0.5 Description: user level session storage fails when register_globals off Hi Guys, Well I installed PHP 4.0.5 hoping it would fix my problem with sessions and it still does not work! Any help from someone knowledgable on this issue would be nice since I reported this bug over 3 months ago. Thanks, Serge Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-04 07:09:10] serge@freezefotoz.com I would like to know if there is any news with regards to this bug? The workaround involves using "register_globals on" and I really don't like this aproach. Thanks, Serge --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-22 18:39:01] serge@freezefotoz.com Steve Chadsey has reported that he has the same bug as me: His message follow. For the record, I am having the *exact* problem you describe. It's on a RedHat 6.2 system, kernel 2.4.1, PostgreSQL 7.0.3, Apache/1.3.17 (Unix) mod_perl/1.25 PHP/4.0.4pl1. With register_globals off, the session write function is never getting called. With register_globals on, it works fine. Do you think I should add a new bug report? Can I add a "me too" to your bug report?

Whith register_globals on, this works fine. session_register("myvar"); $myvar = "VarVar"; exit; and $myvar gets registerd with its value by the handler just fine.
