    Please note that if you have register_globals to On, global variables associated to $_SESSION variables are references, so this may lead to some weird situations.

    <?php

    session_start    ();

    $_SESSION['test'] = 42;
    $test = 43;
    echo     $_SESSION['test'];

    ?>

    Load the page, OK it displays 42, reload the page... it displays 43.

    The solution is to do this after each time you do a session_start() :

    <?php

    if (ini_get('register_globals'))
    {
    foreach (    $_SESSION as $key=>$value)
    {
    if (isset(    $GLOBALS[$key]))
    unset(    $GLOBALS[$key]);
    }
    }

    ?>

    Be carefull with $_SESSION array elements when you have the same name as a normal global.

    The following example leads to unpredictable behaviour of the $wppa array elements, some are updated by normal code, some not, it is totally unpredictable what happens.

    <?php
    global $wppa;
    $wppa = array( 'elm1' => 'value1', 'elm2' => 'value2', ....etc...);

    if ( !     session_id() ) @ session_start();
    if ( ! isset(    $_SESSION['wppa']) $_SESSION['wppa'] = array();

    if ( ! isset(    $_SESSION['wppa']['album']) ) $_SESSION['wppa']['album'] = array();
    $_SESSION['wppa']['album'][1234] = 1;

    $wppa['elm1'] = 'newvalue1';

    print_r($_SESSION);
    ?>
    This will most likely display Array ( [wppa] => Array ( [album] => Array ( [1234] => 1 ) [elm1] => 'newvalue1' [elm2] => 'value2' ... etc ...
    But setting $wppa['elm1'] to another value or referring to it gives unpredictable results, maybe 'value1', or 'newvalue1'.

    The most strange behaviour is that not all elements of $wppa[xx] show up as $_SESSION['wppa'][xx].
