#45566 [NEW]: Strict comparision on $_SERVER values fail

From: samuel at slbdata dot se Operating system: Ubuntu 8.04.1 PHP version: 6CVS-2008-07-19 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: Strict comparision on $_SERVER values fail Description: ------------ Comparing a string in the $_SERVER superglobal using the strict equality operator (===) always fails, even though both types are strings. $_GET and other variables work fine. I'm using the php.ini-recommended file, with no changes except for display_(startup_)errors which are enabled. My locale is sv_SE.UTF-8 (the LANG environment variable is set to this value) This used to work fine in php6.0-200804260630 Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $rm = $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']; echo "Type is: ".gettype($rm)." <br />\n"; if (($rm !== 'GET') && ($rm == 'GET')) { echo "Bug! <br />\n"; } else { echo "Correct behaviour! <br />\n"; } $sp = $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL']; echo "Type is: ".gettype($sp)." <br />\n"; if (($sp !== 'HTTP/1.1') && ($sp == 'HTTP/1.1')) { echo "Bug! <br />\n"; } else { echo "Correct behaviour! <br />\n"; } Expected result: ---------------- Type is: string Correct behaviour! Type is: string Correct behaviour! Actual result: -------------- Type is: string Bug!
