If any of the documentation team has time to take care of this it would be great. Thanks, Andi

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). Ok, we'll make them references then. I hope someone documents it, though, because I don't have time right now. -Andrei * Software never has bugs. It just develops random features. *
