[drupal-devel] [bug] Re: Notifications does not disappear with PHP 5

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/21364

This patch should clear the header after each print-out without using a
blank array(), which I believe could cause this:

 function drupal_get_messages() {
   $messages = drupal_set_message();
-  $_SESSION['messages'] = array();
-
+  session_unregister('messages');
+  unset($_SESSION['messages']);
   return $messages;
 }


It might be good for someone who was having this problem to try this
patch and see if it does fix the problem.

This issue happens with PHP 5.0.4, but not with PHP 4.3.11.


Whenever I change a setting from administer > (any module), "changes
have been saved" messages and other notifications do not disappear.
I end up with dozens of notifications while changing settings and
browsing through drupal modules. Other red error messages stack up as
well (even if I fix what they want).


Logging out does not solve the problem.

I may have been unprecise.
Actually, logging out removes the notifications but the problem is
still there.

I upgraded from 4.5, PHP4 to 4.6 and PHP6 yesterday.  I am having this
same issue with status messages.  Messages only go away after logging
out.

Same problem. Notifications will not go away unless I log out.


Doing a dump of the user variable, I get the following: 


public $session = 'messages|a:1:{s:6:"status";a:3:{i:0;s:28:"The
changes have been saved.";i:1;s:42:"The configuration options have been
saved.";i:2;s:42:"The configuration options have been saved.";}}';


It looks like this never gets set back to an array.
