#19625 [Opn->Bgs]: QUERY_STRING returns as NULL

ID: 19625 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: mwhited@mail.eastland.k12.oh.us -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Linux Slackware 8.1 PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php Thank you for your interest in PHP. QUERY_STRING only contains the data passed via GET. So, when you submit a form via POST method or click on a link that does not have any variables passed via GET then obviously the QUERY_STRING will be blank. If this is not the case please re-open the bug with a correct PHP version.

I figured out a simple (but unsecure) work around. -WORK AROUND- Create a file with the contents below <? $QUERY_STRING=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; ?> Then add that file to the value auto_prepend_file in the php.ini and set the register_globals = on in the same file This fixed my Problem but I hope there is a better solution -Matthew Whited ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19625&edit=1
