sessions being overwrote too easily

[blueman378]

hi guys i was playing today and noticed how easily my sessions are being overwrote

eg using this code:

<?
session_start();
$_SESSION['level'] = 3;
echo $_SESSION['level'];
$level = 1;
echo $_SESSION['level'];
?>

it outputs: 31

are sessions meant to be overwrote this easily?

or am i doing something wrong with my coding, i can use nonuniform names eg gtxlevel

but i would prefer not to and be able to define variables also and undeerstad both

That is caused by register globals. Either turn register globals off or use unique names for program/post/get/cookie/session variables.

or its probably because u have nothing separating your

data,

 

<?

session_start();

$_SESSION['level'] = 3;

echo $_SESSION['level'];

echo "<br />";

$level = 1;

echo "<br />";

echo $_SESSION['level'];

?>
