Previously, doing:

<?php
session_register('user');

$user['UserName'] = "this is  a test";
print $user['UserName'];
?>

would result in the browser displaying:

this is a test

In PHP 4.0.5, the browser displays:

t

Which is not quite the expected result.

I could not verify this withphp 4.0.6dev, can you try the lastest snapshot from snaps.php.net?

This was my test:
[root@aarde mp3]# php
<?php
session_register('user');

$user['UserName'] = "this is  a test";
print $user['UserName'];
?>

Not only could I not reproduce this locally from the snapshot of 4.0.6, but I couldn't from a local 4.0.5. But the problem was definitely happening on my web hosting company, which just recently had upgraded to 4.0.5... finally, I did a session_destroy() at the end of the previous test, and on refresh, everything worked fine.

Is the 4.0.5 serialized/session format subtley different from the 4.0.4 format? Seems to from this result. In any case, it does not appear to be a bug in the CODE, though it may be a "lack of documentation of a change that'll cause hair-pulling" bug. :) Safe to close I think.
