Weird Behaviour

[mkarabulut]

Hello,

I have some scripts which produce unexpected results.
I set session vars in a script

$_SESSION['id'] = 5;

and in another script page I do this

$id = 6;

And when I write $SESSION['id'] to the screen.. Guess what I get ...

echo $_SESSION['id'];
// I get 6... Not 5

How can this be ? Or what I can do to prevent it happening like this ? I want $_SESSION vars store values only when I assing something in it directly .

Thanks in advance.

turning register_globals off will fix that problem. if you do not have access to php.ini you can use a .htaccess file to change this value. inside it just put
php_value register_globals 0

This will happen if you've got register_globals set to on in your php.ini file. Check phpinfo() to see if that's the case.

And if you're using session_register() at all, don't. It's unnecessary and unwanted when you're using $_SESSION.
