PHP4 session / object problem

Question

I have a weird problem with PHP4

I have a class which assigns a $_SESSION variable.

On the local dev server it works as: $_SESSION['foo'] = $this->foo; and I can access $_SESSION['foo'] as a string.

on the live server $_SESSION['foo'] is not a string but a serialized object? the same code?

Answer 1

好的，我发现$_SESSION['myvar']成为全局$myvar ，并被实例变量$myvar = new MyClass();

Answer 2

I didn't know much about this, but as far i use PHP, PHP 4 have some problem with $_SESSION (and $_SERVER etc) variable(s) and you better stick with the old way creating & storing session (i forgot about it btw). And what make problem was it have bugs in it's Object Oriented model.

Then i stick with PHP 5 works fine, you should consider migrating your application into PHP 5 too :D
