In response to my own question, I finally discovered this:

I just solve a problem about $_SESSION variable.
For example, you set $_SESSION['username'] = "Michael" already, later,
you have a variable $username = "Chi" in a php script
After PHP 4.4.0, $_SESSION['username'] is still "Michael".
However, In PHP 4.3.*, $_SESSION['username'] is also changed to "Chi".

Be Careful, if the php version is lower than 4.4.0!

My problem was a variation on this theme. It does pose a bit of
problem for the framework I put together. Glad to hear it's been fix
in PHP 4.4+.
