Hey Everyone,

I am running Apache 2.047 with PHP (as module) 4.3.2. I ran into something
interesting and I wanted to know if it was a bug, or actually supposed to be
that way. Given the following lines of code:

<?php

session_start();

// lets say this equals "bar" and it was set on a previous page
$_SESSION["foo"];

$foo = "rab";


echo $_SESSION["foo"];

?>

The problem is, when I set the global variable $foo="rab", when I echo the
session variable $_SESSION["foo"], it outputs "rab" instead of "bar"?! This
doesn't seem right? If that is the intended behavior, is there anyway to
avoid this (perhaps a php.ini directive)? It was a nightmare finding out why
my session variables values were being changed by like-named global
variables ;-) Hey PHP still rocks though, later

Christian
