note 30265 added to ref.session

It appears that you cannot really mix and match the old and new ways of registering session variables. old: register_globals = ON $name = 'John Smith'; session_register ('name'); new: register_globals = OFF $_SESSION['name'] = 'John Smith'; with register_globals = ON any changes to a global variable will effect the $_SESSION array when the session is reloaded: <? // register_globals = ON session_start (); $_SESSION['test'] = 'this is a test'; $test = strtoupper ($test); print_r ($_SESSION); ?> When this script is run and then refreshed (reload the session) $_SESSION['test'] will equal 'THIS IS A TEST' -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30265 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30265 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30265
