Old Status: Open
Status: Closed
Bug Type: Session related
Operating System: any
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
This problem will be gone in PHP 4.1.0 (and more probs are
fixed for 4.2.0). In PHP 4.1 we have introduced new TRUE
global variables and one of them is:
$_SESSION (same as $HTTP_SESSION_VARS but is true global)
--Jani

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.
(register_globals Off)
