#18998 [Opn->Bgs]: vars using get wont print

ID: 18998 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: trolldude@gmx.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: URL related Operating System: win2k / linux PHP Version: 4.2.2 New Comment: In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-20 17:32:38] trolldude@gmx.net hi, my isp updated to php 4.2.2 since then all my scripts worked fine, as they should. after the update nothing worked anymore. here sample script test.php -------- <?php $test = 1; echo ("<a href=./test2.php?var=".$test.">test</a>"); ?> test2.php --------- <?PHP echo $var; ?> so test2.php echoed nothing. i tried a lot and after installing php 4.2.2 locally, ich found out that in php.ini following lines were commented out: ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; Data Handling ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ; Note - track_vars is ALWAYS enabled as of PHP 4.0.3 ; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments. ; Default is "&". ;arg_separator.output = "&amp;" ; List of separator(s) used by PHP to parse input URLs into variables. ; Default is "&". ; NOTE: Every character in this directive is considered as separator! ;arg_separator.input = ";&" after activating arg_seperator.output + input all my scripts worked fine again. so MY problem now is that my i cant fix it locally but i and i think a lot of more people cant chang php.ini on my ISP Site. is it possible to make this public somewhere on php.net so that also the ISPs will read when downloading ? thanx Markus Brendler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18998&edit=1
