My PHP does not exhibit that behaviour.
Can it be that you have /something else/ in your code responsible for
the behaviour you describe?


<?php
session_start();

if (rand(0, 1)) {

echo "Using copy of the \$_SESSION array...<br>\n";

$COPY_SESSION = $_SESSION;
if (!isset($COPY_SESSION['count'])) {
$COPY_SESSION['count'] = 0;
}
$val = ++$COPY_SESSION['count'];
if (rand(0, 1)) {
echo "and not copying it back.<br>\n";
} else {
$_SESSION = $COPY_SESSION;
}

} else {

if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) {
$_SESSION['count'] = 0;
}
$val = ++$_SESSION['count'];

}

echo "Current value is $val.<br>\n";
?>
