sessions notes ( so u dont go crazy )

[perrohunter]

I just came back to real life after dealing with a fatal problem with sessions ( 8 hours of suffer )

I dont want anyone to suffer from this illness too so i will just start

I made a small site with sessions on it , after i made a simple form i found out that everytime that i acces my form.php script some session data was getting lost , i couldnt find the reason , i even remade the code line by line , but with no results , and alot of research i found out that the register globals was ON ! , so if i had a session variable with the same name as any other variable it would be over written !

If u have some session data loss, u may need to check this out !

hope this help , now im may go jump of my roof 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃

If you're working in a production environment, and you have register_globals turned on, losing session data is the least of your problems... :p

Anyway, yeah... here's another perfect example of why everyone, including PHP.net, is saying that register_globals is a big no-no.
