I commonly use a foreach to set my POST array into normal variables.

 foreach($_POST as $key=>$value)
   ${$key} = $value;

but, when I tried this to unset sessions (code follows), PHP.EXE pops up a window and declares it has to close.

 foreach($_SESSION as $key)
   unset($_SESSION[$key])

I know I could go a better way about doing this, and I have. I just thought I would share this bit of information with you. :)

Good day.

1. Using foreach for your POST array is not very useful,
see http://www.php.net/function.extract and http://www.php.net/import_request_variables for better ways to do it.

2. For more information how to use sessions, http://www.php.net/session

And last but not least: Lot of bugs were fixed in PHP 4.3.2, update first.
