Bug description: session_start() inside a function destroys reference to $HTTP_SESSION_VARS
The following code doesn't work
<?php
function start_session() {
global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
session_start();
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"];
}
start_session();
?>
while this one does
<?php
function start_session() {
session_start();
global $HTTP_SESSION_VARS;
echo $HTTP_SESSION_VARS["testvar"];
}
start_session();
?>
Obviosly after session_start() $HTTP_SESSION_VARS is not
global any more.
