Please provide a complete but short example 
that _clearly_ shows the problem.

I am sorry, actually I do not have time, I hope I can give you an example in the next two days - sorry for that (but your first reply took more than two days :-).

But - it is NOT an misunderstanding how sessions work. I am using sessions since the beginning of PHP 4 and the same code is running under 4.2.3 perfect.

Then you must also know that some behaviour of them was fixed in 4.3.0 and most likely you're just relying on the
broken behaviour...can't really tell without a short and 
complete example script. 

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

Hi @all,

sorry for that long time to answer - a lot things to do in the last weeks :-(

Finally I have figured out under what circumstances the behaviour occurs.

Here is an clean sample code:

---- index.phtml ----
<?
// Classes //
require_once "foo-class.php4";

// test-class //
$foo = new fooclass();

@error_log("Start with: ".$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],0);

// start a session.
session_start();

// if $unintialized is set to something, everything is fine.

// $uninitalized="test";

$save_hid=$uninitalized;
$sess_action="two";
session_register('sess_action');
session_register('save_hid');

// and now the problem - $dummy will not be given to the function
$dummy=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?step=2";
@error_log("var dummy: ".$dummy,0);

$foo->samplefunc($dummy);

exit;
?>
---- END index.phtml ----

---- foo-class.php4 ----
<? 
// file:	foo-class.php4

class fooclass {

    function samplefunc($pathInfo) {

		@error_log("SESSION [redirectTo]: Parameter: ".$pathInfo,0);

    }


} 

?>
---- END foo-class.php4 ----

And here my Syslog when I try to open the page the first time - when I do an refresh everything is fine !!!!!

---- error_log ----
[Tue Mar  4 14:53:38 2003] [error] Start with: /php-4.3.x-test/
[Tue Mar  4 14:53:38 2003] [error] var dummy: /php-4.3.x-test/index.phtml?step=2
[Tue Mar  4 14:53:38 2003] [error] SESSION [redirectTo]: Parameter:
---- END error_log ----

As you can see, the function in my foo-class do not recieve their parameters. This only happens if the $unintialized var in index.phtml is uninitialized.

If you need anything more, please let me know.

Again - with 4.2.3 there were no those behaviour.

I know - an unintilized var is not good - but I guess there should not be such an error.

Sebastian

One more thing - same behavior under 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 !

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

Hi,

with the CVS Version it is the same behaviour - the function does not recieve the parameters.

Regards,
Sebastian

updated the version..

Hi !

means this that you have fixed it (in the newest cvs) ?

No, I just updated the version in this report to reflect the latest version you have tested this possible bug to exist in.

Try adding 'error_reporting(E_ALL);' as the first line in your script. And see what errors you get..

After adding the script gives the following notice:


Notice: Undefined variable: uninitalized in /delequa/webs/192168002075/www/php-4.3.x-test/index.phtml on line 19


The behaviour is the same.

Hi @all,

is there anybody out there in the galaxy who cares about this nasty bug ???? There are 50 Votes, with an Avg. Score of 4.7 and 36 reproduced. 

There is a clean code to reproduce the bug (4 Mar 7:59am CST) and the actual 4.3.2RC1 has the same bahaviour.

Anybody who cares ?

Sebastian

If running with register globals off, make sure you set:
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 0

Needed if you really want $sess_action="two" to be set in your session.

Hi !

I have tried it with the snapshot-version. It does NOT run.

I have set 
register_globals=on

At first I have tried without the paramters 
session.bug_compat_42
session.bug_compat_warn

It does not work. 

Then I have tried to set
session.bug_compat_42 = 1
session.bug_compat_warn = 0

It does not work, too.

Regards,
Sebastian

With the latest CVS-Snapshot (PHP4-STABLE) it works now (20030516).

Thanks !!!
