I'm not sure why you say that Well, I would expect it to persist in your success route, since you're not doing any destructive assignments. However, I'm talking about your failure route here, and with this extra assignment in place, every time that test fails you are 100% guaranteed to destroy the value of $_SESSION['f1a'] before redirecting.
