session_unregister - Unregister a global variable from the current session

SYNOPSIS

       bool session_unregister (string	$name)

DESCRIPTION

       session_unregister(3) unregisters the global variable named $name from the current session.

       Warning

	      This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0 and REMOVED as of PHP 5.4.0.

PARAMETERS

	      o $name
		- The variable name.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

NOTES

       Note

	       If  $_SESSION  (or  $HTTP_SESSION_VARS  for  PHP  4.0.6	or  less)  is  used, use unset(3) to unregister a session variable. Do not
	      unset(3)$_SESSION itself as this will disable the special function of the $_SESSION superglobal.

       Caution

	       This function does not unset the corresponding global variable for $name, it only prevents the variable from being saved as part of
	      the session. You must call unset(3) to remove the corresponding global variable.

       Caution

	       If  you	are using $_SESSION (or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS), do not use session_register(3), session_is_registered(3) and session_unregis-
	      ter(3).

Superglobals - Superglobals are built-in variables that are always available in all scopes

	Several predefined variables in PHP are "superglobals", which means they are available in all scopes throughout a script. There is no need
       to do global $variable; to access them within functions or methods.

	These superglobal variables are:

	      o$GLOBALS

	      o$_SERVER

	      o$_GET

	      o$_POST

	      o$_FILES

	      o$_COOKIE

	      o$_SESSION

	      o$_REQUEST

	      o$_ENV

       Note

	      Variable availability

	       By default, all of the superglobals are available but there are directives that affect this availability. For further  information,
	      refer to the documentation for variables_order.

       Note

	      Dealing with register_globals

	       If the deprecated register_globals directive is set to on then the variables within will also be made available in the global scope
	      of the script. For example, $_POST['foo'] would also exist as $foo.

	       For related information, see the FAQ titled "How does register_globals affect me?"

       Note

	      Variable variables

	       Superglobals cannot be used as variable variables inside functions or class methods.
