Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55088&edit=1 ID: 55088 Comment by: m dot rondini at tigersecurity dot it Reported by: m dot rondini at tigersecurity dot it Summary: $GLOBALS["_REQUEST"]["something"] not set variable on auto_prepend_file Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: ok right, but in php.net documentation i read this: [phpnet] auto_prepend_file string Specifies the name of a file that is automatically parsed before the main file. The file is included as if it was called with the require() function, so include_path is used. The special value none disables auto-prepending. [/phpnet] It use a require, and the output must be the same.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-06 09:00:10] johannes@php.net If you include test1.php from test2.php the engine will first compile and execute test2.php. test2.php references $_REQUEST using that name and all so it will be initialized and added to the symbol table (in this case the global symbol table). Then test1.php will be compiled and executed, also using the global symbol table, which still contains $_REQUEST. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-06 05:59:23] m dot rondini at tigersecurity dot it why, if i use "require('test1.php');" in test2.php, work it fine? After prepend "require", the return is "request<br />get", how i would see. But, using auto_prepend_file, something wrong. Is It a bug or other? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-06 05:06:40] johannes@php.net Super-Globals ($_GET / $_REQUEST / $_SESSION / ...) are optimized that they are only provided if the parser detects them being used. If you write $GLOBALS["_REQUEST"] only this won't be detected. You can fix the issue by writing $_REQUEST["test"] = "request"; $_GET["test1"] = "get"; or by setting auto_globals_jit=0 in php.ini The only way we could fix it is by always providing all super-globals in every context which is a notable performance hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-30 09:26:36] m dot rondini at tigersecurity dot it Description: ------------ test1.php [CODE] <?php $GLOBALS["_REQUEST"]["test"] = "request"; $GLOBALS["_GET"]["test1"] = "get"; ?> [/CODE] test2.php [CODE] <?php echo $_REQUEST["test"]; echo "<br />"; echo $_GET["test1"]; ?> [/CODE] .htaccess [CODE] php_value auto_prepend_file ./test1.php [/CODE] with this scenario, the only printed variable is $_GET["test1"] . However, if I append "print_r($_REQUEST);" in test1.php, it work. Expected result: ---------------- request get Actual result: -------------- get ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55088&edit=1
