note 22977 added to function.session-register

CAUTION!!!!! CAUTION!!!!! CAUTION!!!!! The PHP.net document failed to mentioned that numeric value is not support for the $_SESSION and never will be. It took me almost a week to find that out. It would have been nice if the documentation mentioned that. I found out about that when I looked up on PHP bug #17122. Demo #1 don't work, Demo #2 work! I'm posting this for your convience and to help you all from making the same mistake one day. --clip-- Demo #1 -------------- //-------Page 1--------- define(CUSTOMER_ID,0); define(CUSTOMER_NAME,1); define(STREET,4); define(CITY,5); define(STATE,6); define(ZIP_CODE,7); $salt = strtoupper(md5(uniqid(rand()))); session_id($salt); session_start(); //$result is from odbc_exec odbc_fetch_into($result,$_SESSION,1); //Example #1 print_r($_SESSION); //This one work!!
