Open source software sucks

[Phalanxer]

Why is it that I am always let down by open source software that can't perform a basic instruction?

 

$_POST['tablea'] = 'a22';
$_SESSION['tablea']['tablenumber'] = $_POST['tablea'];
echo $_SESSION['tablea']['tablenumber'];

 

This should echo 'a22' right? Yeah, right... well it echo's '2'.

echoes "a22" when I run it.

I have restarted Apache, still the same result.

<?php
$_POST['tablea'] = 'a22';
$_SESSION['tablea']['tablenumber'] = $_POST['tablea'];
echo $_SESSION['tablea']['tablenumber'];
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SESSION);
echo '</pre>';
?>

OUTPUT==>

a22
Array
(
    [tablea] => Array
        (
            [tablenumber] => a22
        )

)

dkd@crautcher-desktop:/var/www/absolux/class$ php -r '
> $_POST["tablea"] = "a22";
> $_SESSION["tablea"]["tablenumber"] = $_POST["tablea"];
> echo $_SESSION["tablea"]["tablenumber"];';
a22

maybe u have some other code after or before ?

I have scrapped my days work and starting over from the last point of backup, where everything was working.

 

Thanks for all your input guys.
