Bug description: HTML img src tag resets session variable
Description:
------------
My PHP version is 4.3.2-RC2
I have an include file which executes a bunch of PHP code and outputs
HTML. I also store session variables.
I noticed that if I put the following HTML tag inside the include file:
<img src="" height="5" width="5">
My session data gets reset.
Ok, the point here is no one should have an empty image source tag. When
the src is populated, the problem does not occur.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<? include('/path/to/the/file.php'); ?>
Expected result:
----------------
User should continue onto the next page of the website.
Actual result:
--------------
My error checking reports that the user is no longer logged in. This is
due to the session variable being reset by this HTML code.
