Session problems - Used to work

Norman

Okay I'm having a major problem here..

I had a app that I used iwth a PHP 4.1 or 4.2 I cna't remember off the top of my head.. well I'm using 4.3 now but I am having these problems:

1) Session_register - Not registering vars, and yes I tried both assigning after and before register

2) Session unset/destroy is not working

And just major frustration all around.. I can't figure out why this doesn't work anymore.. 🙁

As well.. unset doesn't seem to be working either.. ;(
to explain I've tried:

unset($GLOBALS["PHP_AUTH_USER"]);
unset($GLOBALS["PHP_AUTH_PW"]);

and

unset($PHP_AUTH_USER);
unset($PHP_AUTH_PW);

What happens is, in the page it removes it, it's gone, when I go back to the index page, from the logout page, they are magically back.. anyone got any ideas on this AND/or the sessions.. I'm guessing they are related somehow since they are all a "Global/Cookie" type of var

Not to be short, but go download the new PHP help file and read the section on the new features of 4.3. This will answer your question. The issue is that 4.3 does not automatically have the register globals defaulted to on because of security risks. With that off, the manual says something about using unset and $GLOBALS... Hope you find the answer...

Yeah I know that.. my register globals is on, I have reset thta in my php.ini.

register_globals On On

I did that along time ago, when I first installed PHP, because of that fact. they have been on the whole time..
