Can we do something to this issue? To reporter: Could you update PHP version when you test and confirm problem exists in newer versions? Read "Reference Explained" section carefully for the reason why this is problem in your script. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-06 16:31:21] pesterhazy@gmx.net the following script will print out unset set the first time it is run although it should actually print 'set' twice; somehow, the variable needs to be globalized again after the session has been registered. normal php4 setup with everything compiled-in. php -v >> 4.0.6devel --------------------- function test() { global $glb_var; session_save_path("e:\\temp"); session_start(); session_register('glb_var'); test2(); print "glb_var='$glb_var'<br>"; global $glb_var; print "glb_var='$glb_var'"; } function test2() { global $glb_var; $glb_var = 'set'; } $glb_var = 'unset'; test(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13579&edit=1
