Session variable acting like a pointer???

[the_lynx123]

Hi,
I am coding something related with session variables and this is what is going on:

echo $_SESSION['WHERE'] . "<br />";
$WHERE = "WHERE `persInfo_appDate` BETWEEN '$daterangeFrom' AND $daterangeTo'";
echo $_SESSION['WHERE'] . "<br />";

The output is:

WHERE persInfo_appDate BETWEEN '2011-04-22' AND '2011-06-22' AND persInfo_divSelect = 'Harper'
WHERE persInfo_appDate BETWEEN '2011-04-22' AND '2011-06-22'

The first and the second echos' are different, but I am only changing the variable $WHERE, is it possible that the session variable is being referenced to $WHERE?
Thanks

does $WHERE =& $SESSION['WHERE'] ? And how is $SESSION['WHERE'] being set to begin with?

show us more of your code.

Sounds like you're using [man]session_register/man, which is something you definitely should not be doing.

or:

register_globals = On

dangerous!
