#19336 [Csd]: phpinfo() returns plain text

ID: 19336 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: mclinden@informed.net Status: Closed Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-pre5 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-09-10 New Comment: There is no behavioural change for standard installs. The default setting for html_errors is on, so only people who specifically changed their php.ini file to turn off html tags around their error messages will have html tags stripped from their phpinfo() output as well. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-10 10:43:24] mclinden@informed.net I have checked the manual. I see no place where this change in behavior of phpinfo() is documented, except in the NEWS section of the source code where the implication is that it was changed for the CLI but not the Apache module version. I am happy to be corrected but considering that the large amount of preprinted PHP installation guides refers to this use of phpinfo() to test an installation, this is not exactly a subtle behavior change. Regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-10 10:27:42] derick@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Turn on html_errors in php.ini. This was recently changed to allow the CLI and CGI modules to have a pretty phpinfo() too.

As was stated, if you are indeed using the Apache module version or the CGI version, you could re-open. You didn't specify this when you re-opened, just that you were using Apache. Look at the output and tell us what it says next to "Server API". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-10 10:13:55] mclinden@informed.net Ok, so this is changed from Open to Bogus because what? You make a change that isn't documented? This behavior IS with the Apache server. It is a PHP page served up by Apache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
