Somewhat magical, but what else can we do here? I really don't think we can live with the current situation. As I mentioned in my other message, $HTTP_SESSION_VARS value and the global value used to be references, but after some people complained about this fact on the list, it was changed.. I wouldn't mind reinstating it, but if we do, let's do it once and for all with very good reasons to avoid another such occurrence.
Making them references is the right thing IMO. I think we should also write in the manual that people should use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[]. (I haven't checked if this is written or not so it might be already). Andi
