note 84358 added to security.globals

RE: Anonymous on oirinely at yahoo dot com Actually oirinely is correct. With register_globals on any key in $_SESSION becomes a global variable when session_start() happens. This means that assigning a value to any variable that has the same name as any existing $_SESSION key (when register_globals is on and session_start() has happened) is the same as assigning to $_SESSION e.g. <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['foo'] = 1; $foo = 2; echo $_SESSION['foo']; ?> result = 1 ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 217.155.151.254 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84358 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84358 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84358 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
