New Comment:

i had a similar problem occur in PHP 4.4.4 where i called a variable
called $_SESSION['userID'] which had been previously set to the user's
ID number. later on in the script i set $userID to a value and it would
also set the session variable. strangely this mysterious resetting only
happened for one particular instance of setting $userID to a new value.
all other times it was reset it didn't affect the session variable. i
tried moving the entire site onto a second server to see what happens
and it worked fine there. both servers had the exact same
configuration. and were running Linux with Apache 1.3.37.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

[url]http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz[/url]

For Windows:

[url]http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip[/url]

This is something that I believe was fixed in 4.3.0, please try the RC2
and report if the problem persists. Also, is you register_globals on?

When my code does the following in sequence:

1) $_SESSION['League'] = 1; /* or any other number */

2) unset($_SESSION['League']);

3) $League = new AnyObject(...);

The variable $_SESSION['League'] gets set to the contents of
"AnyObject".

This doesn't occur if the Session variable had never been set/unset,
nor does it occur when the Session variable has an existing value in it
when statement (3) occurs.
Addtionally, this assignment doesn't occur immediately at the time that
statement (3) is executed. It is somehow delayed until after the script
completes. It's only when I go on to execute another script when I
encounter the "mystery" assignment.

I haven't tried this with names other than 'League', but common sense
suggests this is likely a generic problem independant of the specific
name I happened to use.

FYI, I'm running Apache version 1.3, the latest stable release for
Windows. My PHP configuration is generic, with the exception of
including the module(s) required to do XML/XSLT transforms.
