Well at http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.examples.php there's a
big fat Note at the top of the page which includes the following:
"The keys in the $_SESSION associative array are subject to the same
limitations as regular variable names in PHP, i.e. they cannot start
with a number and must start with a letter or underscore.".
Yeah, but that's no fair -- you read the documentation. :-)
Seriously, however, the thing that bothered me wasn't the limitations
in keys, that's understandable, but rather if you do use a numeric
index, then all the legal session variables declared after that
incident no longer work.
Imagine having ten session variables working and then adding another
with a numeric index between sessions five and six declarations.
I can see the session with the numeric index not working, but why
would sessions six through ten stop?
Cheers,
