Hrml... I found the most interesting possibly bug today in PHP.... perhaps someone could help me verify this?

class User
{
 var $nothing;

 function User( )
 {
   return;
 }
}

$_SESSION[user][7] = array( "Test1", "Test2" );
print_r( $_SESSION );

$user = new User;
print_r( $_SESSION );

In my case $_SESSION[user] was being overwritten with $user. When I changed $_SESSION[user] to $_SESSION[users] the problem went away and $user no longer made its way into the $_SESSION array.

I am running php version 4.3.8

I think that's a "feature", not a bug.

A feature? I could not find anything on PHP.net or in my book on this featue... perhaps you could explain a bit more so I know how to avoid this feature in the future

And why would they implement such a feature?

No idea, but it seems it's the sort of thing that requires work to implement in the first place - I don't think it could happen by accident. Try PHP 5.0.
