Andrei Zmievski committed a patch that should fix this problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-06 11:36:00] sander@rotzorg.org Hi, i have this (sample) script: <?php session_name("gpixsessid"); session_start(); if (!session_is_registered("totalscore")) { session_register("totalscore"); $totalscore = 0; // $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["totalscore"] = 0; } else { // $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["totalscore"] += 10; $totalscore += 10; } $line = session_id() . "<br>nScore:" . $totalscore; //$line = session_id() . "<br>nScore:" . $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["totalscore"]; ?> <html> <body> <?php echo $line ?> </body> </html> If register_globals is On, everything works fine using the $totalscore global. But, if you change the comments, and use $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[] the sessiondata (totalscore) stays undefined. If i change register_globals to Off (and restarting apache), the globals (surprise) don't work anymore, but $HTTP_SESSION_VARS do. This is in contrast with the manual, saying that if register_globals is On, both $HTTP_SESSION_VARS and the global reference the same value. gr, Sander De Graaf --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
