PHP session variables interchanged with local variables?

Question

I\'ve encountered a very odd issue in regards to session variables and local variables in php.

I\'m trying to figure out if I am not understanding something about sessi

Answer 1

This is probably because the register_globals directive is on. It doesn't say it on that page that $_SESSION variables are included, but it says here:

If register_globals is enabled, then the global variables and the $_SESSION entries will automatically reference the same values which were registered in the prior session instance. However, if the variable is registered by $_SESSION then the global variable is available since the next request.
