Hi, all -- It appears that the change from 4.2.3 to 4.3.4rc1 was not something that got broken but instead something that got fixed. Oh, yay. But what do I do now? Hmmm...
The code
<?php
session_name('name') ;
session_start ;
session_register('pw') ;
$pwc = "realpass" ;
if ( $pw != $pwc )
{
if ( $pw != "" )
{
print "Invalid password!<br>\n" ;
session_unregister('pw') ;
}
print "<form method='post'>\n" ;
print "Password:<br><input teyp='password' name='pw'><br>\n" ;
print "<input type='submit' value='ENTER'>\n</form>\n" ;
session_write_close() ;
exit ;
}
// protected page body here
?>
used to work but now does not, apparently because now one cannot register
a session variable unless a regular var of the same name has already been
defined. That is,
<?php
if ( $_GET['stop'] )
{
session_start() ;
print "pw is .$pw.\n" ;
exit ;
}
$pw = "pass" ;
session_register('pw') ;
header("Location: ?stop=1") ;
?>
*does* work. Of course, I have to turn my code inside out or worse to do
this (I don't really know where I'm going to go, either; that code is a
direct copy of an example shown to me, so I don't yet see how to turn my
code inside out to match it).
I still don't know what the bug was or how it was fixed or if I can
return to the old behavior (which certainly would put me back in business
quickly and let me fix all of my code on a reasonable schedule), but at
least I think I have it pinned down to 1) not a mis-setting in php.ini
and 2) probably not something I can "fix" quickly.
If, based on this, anyone has any more info or pointers, I sure would
love them :-)
Thanks & HAND
:-D
