Bug #13273: session_register naming bug

From: kasper@criminal.org Operating system: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session_register naming bug I'm having an intermittent problem with session_register, where if I register a session variable such as: <? session_register("session_userid"); ?> then in the querystring pass a variable such as: http://site/test.php?userid=xx intermittently, the script will cache what is passed through the querystring into a session variable called $userid, and use that value for the rest of the session. Note, it doesn't use the value of what is in $session_userid, it only creates a $userid session variable and overrides the querystring for the remainder of the session. I have tested this by doing something like: <? if(session_is_registered("userid")) echo "registered\n"; ?> I will intermittantly get the word "registered" on the page. I've searched high and low, and nobody seems to know anything about this, so I figured I would submit it to you. I installed PHP by using the mod_php4 port from the FreeBSD ports tree in /usr/ports/www/mod_php4. I'm also running Apache 1.3.17. If there is any other information you'd like me to submit, let me know via e-mail and I will submit it ASAP. Thank you, ~kasper@criminal.org -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13273&edit=1
