Thanks for having a look, Kalle. Frankly, I can't tell, what's the
correct solution. This goes too deep into the innards of the
engine, and is well beyond my (current) comprehension. The
relevant commit is da7d94c[1], and indeed that suggests that the
|| should be a &&, and with this change the test script also
succeeds.

> I cannot properly test since I only got CLI

The attached phpt runs with the built-in webserver, and is
supposed to pass with PHP 5.6.x, but to fail for master.

Generally a good idea, as the bug tracker doesn't send mails to
all involved parties automatically (maybe something that could be
improved). However, I have explicitly subscribed to this ticket,
and I'll try to follow the discussion anyway. :)

Christoph, I think its the conditional that is wrong, instead of || after the zend_is_auto_global()
call, use &&, like other places where the same code is used seems right, but so far I cannot
properly test since I only got CLI available.

There seems to be a logic error in the detection of the user
agent[1]. zend_is_auto_global_str(ZEND_STRL("_SERVER"))) yields 1,
and so the error is triggered.

Is it supposed to be
!zend_is_auto_global_str(ZEND_STRL("_SERVER")))?

@laruence: Can you please have a look at the issue?

I can confirm this issue for PHP 7.0.0-alpha2 with the CLI server
on Windows. Works fine with PHP 5.6.10, though. I'll do some
debugging.

Perhaps I did not make it clear.  The problem only exists when you use a value of NULL for the user
agent parameter.  It works when I provide $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] for that parameter. 

I don't think that the problem has anything to do with the fastcgi configuration because of two
reasons:
1) I am using Apache 2.4 and php-fpm not nginx
2) It works with the same configuration on the same machine under 5.6.8

The following is the output when I first echo $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] and then call
get_browser(NULL, true).  I included 2 "<br>" after echoing
$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] to delineate that output from that of get_browser.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0

Warning: get_browser(): HTTP_USER_AGENT variable is not set, cannot determine user agent name in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/php7testing/browscap_test.php on line 3

The main reason that I am bringing this up is that PHP 7 behavior is different from 5.6 and from the
documentation.  I am trying to help eliminate problems for others making the transition from 5.X to
7.
