<?
session_start();
$_GET["username"]="admin";
$_SESSION["username"]="paodj";

echo $_GET["username"]; //Return "admin"
echo $_SESSION["username"]; //Return "admin", not "paodj"
?>

Php 4.3.0 RC 2, Apache 2, XP with register.globals = ON
if register.globals = OFF, it's ok.

My english is not very well ;)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Yes, when globals are on, $_GET $_POST $_FILES $_SESSION $_COOKIE are the same global variable.

Too old PHP version..and DON'T abuse the super globals
like that, you're not supposed to add your own entries
in any other but the $_SESSION array!
