I believed that session_decode was not working, because it was always returning false, BUT it works... even if it returns FALSE !

Here is my sample code :

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['test']=20;
echo "test = ".$_SESSION['test']."<br><br>";

$buffer=session_encode();
echo "buffer = ".$buffer."<br><br>";

$_SESSION['test']=10;
echo "test = ".$_SESSION['test']."<br><br>";

if (session_decode($buffer)==FALSE) echo "<br>It returns FALSE !!!!<br>";

echo "test = ".$_SESSION['test']."<br><br>";

?>

here is the ouput (after a REFRESH) :

test = 20
buffer = test|i:20;
test = 10
It returns FALSE !!!!
test = 20

It display "It returns FALSE", but $_SESSION['test'] is correctly initialized with 20 as it was...

Do I missed something ? or is it a bug ?

Thanks in advance,
