note 83309 added to ref.simplexml

You can avoid easily, the unpredictable destruction of $_SESSION when loading a simple_xml object (which occurs under _some_ PHP versions) by serializing and unserializing it: <?php $oldsession=serialize($_SESSION); $myxml=@simplexml_load_file('my.xml'); $_SESSION=unserialize($oldsession); unset ($oldsession); ?> This worked for me under PHP 5.2.5 while on 5.1.6 there was no need for such workaround at all. Same workaround should help if there are other superglobals affected by this bug... ---- Server IP: 217.75.128.29 Probable Submitter: 87.126.31.26 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83309 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83309 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83309 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
