Bug #17936: GET variables have no value

From: strelitz@kona.net Operating system: windows 2000 sp2 IIS 5.0 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: IIS related Bug description: GET variables have no value Variables passed in via a GET are inexplicable undefined. I wrote a simple script to receive a variable passed in through an URL, and print it. The problem is the variable is undefined, though if I put a phpinfo() function in the script, its output correctly shows my variable and its value. Contents of "test.php" script: <html><head><title>test</title></head> <body> <?php if (empty($test)) { echo 'parameter "test" undefined';} else { echo 'parameter "test" value is "' . $test . '"' ;} phpinfo(); ?> </body> </html> URL call: http://localhost/test.php?test=hello Output is "Parameter 'test' undefined" I expected "Parameter 'test' value is 'hello'" Though the phpinfo output shows "test=hello" in the QUERYSTRING variable and "fff" in the _GET["test"] variable. Am I missing something obvious? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17936&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17936&r=globals
