Quick OO PHP question

Naming a session array with the same name as a class

[ryan_b83]

Hello I had a strange problem with a bit of code. Example:

$_SESSION['abc'] = "value";

I kept getting a fatal error for this and I could not figure out why. However one thing to note is that i do have a class with the same name as the array key "abc". So when i changed the session to read like this, it worked:

$_SESSION['abcd'] = "value";

In conclusion the only thing i could figure out is that i am not aloud to have a session's array key the same as a class name that is currently being used.

Am I totally wrong on this or is there something else im missing?

Thanks,
Ryan

How "global" are the class var?

Post the class chunk regarding the same "name"
