[horde] test.php session unregister failed

[Fran ç ois Helly]

Here is a response to my pb,
hope it could be helpful

According to the man php page at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#AEN81790

because of my config
(I use other php scripts on my server, a lot of them are created before php
4.1,...) 
I have my register_globals php_ini value sets to 1

So, the unset() function doesn't work at all because the variable is stored
in the $_SESSION array

Solutions are (at your conveniance):

A) modify the test.php as follow :

I made a correction in the test.php file (l. 231) :
and now it works perfectly :

+---------------------------------+

    case 'unregister':
        $register_globals = ini_get('register_globals');
        if (empty($register_globals)) {
            unset($_SESSION['horde_test_count']);
        } else {
            session_unregister('horde_test_count');
        }

+---------------------------------+

B) create a .htacces file in the horde's directory (if you don't have one
yet)
with such directive:

+---------------------------------+
php_value register_globals 0
+---------------------------------+


C) add the B) like directive in your http.conf
<Directory /path-to-horde/horde>
php_value register_globals 0
</Directory>
