Bug #69015 [NEW]: php-cgi's getopt does not see $argv

From: lonnie at abelbeck dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.5.21 Package: CGI/CLI related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php-cgi's getopt does not see $argv Description: ------------ On our embedded system, we only build the php-cgi version to save space, /usr/bin/php is php-cgi. Note: This problem does not exist when calling php-cli via the command-line, only calling php-cgi via the command-line. When upgrading from PHP 5.3 to PHP 5.5, there seems to be some optimization that keeps $argv from being seen by 'getopt' unless $_SERVER['argv'] is referenced in the script. Interestingly $_SERVER['argv'] does not have to be executed to fix the behavior. In the test script below, uncommenting "var_dump($_SERVER['argv']);" allows 'getopt' to work. Test script: --------------- #!/usr/bin/php -qnC <?php echo "PHP Version: ".phpversion()."\n"; echo "register_argc_argv=".ini_get('register_argc_argv')."\n"; var_dump($argv); //var_dump($_SERVER['argv']); $opts = getopt("abc:"); var_dump($opts); ?> Expected result: ---------------- ./test-argv-getopt.php -ab -c4 PHP Version: 5.5.21 register_argc_argv=1 array(3) { [0]=> string(22) "./test-argv-getopt.php" [1]=> string(3) "-ab" [2]=> string(3) "-c4" } array(3) { ["a"]=> bool(false) ["b"]=> bool(false) ["c"]=> string(1) "4" } Actual result: -------------- ./test-argv-getopt.php -ab -c4 PHP Version: 5.5.21 register_argc_argv=1 array(3) { [0]=> string(22) "./test-argv-getopt.php" [1]=> string(3) "-ab" [2]=> string(3) "-c4" } bool(false) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69015&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=69015&r=mysqlcfg
