Anyone, feel free :) http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/session/ini.xml The whole session section needs an overhaul but that's another story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-03 10:52:55] jhlavon at email dot cz When I setup "register_globals=off", PHP script produces warning, which isn't explained in documentation, same as probably next "hidden" setup options. Best regards, Jiri Message: Warning: Unknown(): Your script possibly relies on a session side-effect which existed until PHP 4.2.3. Please be advised that the session extension does not consider global variables as a source of data, unless register_globals is enabled. You can disable this functionality and this warning by setting session.bug_compat_42 or session.bug_compat_warn to off, respectively. in Unknown on line 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23465&edit=1
