#34732 [NEW]: register_globals is expected to globalize $_SESSION?

From: nospam0 at malkusch dot de Operating system: Linux PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: register_globals is expected to globalize $_SESSION? Description: ------------ There's a discrepance in the manual: ,--<http://de.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.register-globals>-- | Whether or not to register the EGPCS (Environment, GET, | POST, Cookie, Server) variables as global variables. `-- ,--<http://de.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php>-- | If the register_globals directive is set, then these | variables will also be made available in the global | scope of the script; i.e., separate from the $_SESSION | and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS arrays. `-- It's also interessting how PHP 5.0.5 acts concering this issue. When creating a new Session it behaves as it's described in <http://de.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.register-globals>, and the content of $_SESSION is inknown in $GLOBALS. But when I continue the session there's also the content of $_SESSION in $GLOBALS. Reproduce code: --------------- session_start(); $_SESSION['test'] = 'test'; var_dump(ini_get('register_globals')); var_dump($test); var_dump($_SESSION['test']); Actual result: -------------- ,--<new session> | string(1) "1" | NULL | string(4) "test" `-- ,--<continued session> | string(1) "1" | string(4) "test" | string(4) "test" `-- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34732&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34732&r=mysqlcfg
