I run into the same issue with _REQUEST.
The code below (from tt-rss):
---
<?php
...
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
function stripslashes_deep($value) {
$value = is_array($value) ?
array_map('stripslashes_deep', $value) : stripslashes($value);
return $value;
}
$_POST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_POST);
$_GET = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_GET);
$_COOKIE = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_COOKIE);
$_REQUEST = array_map('stripslashes_deep', $_REQUEST);
}
$op = $_REQUEST["op"];
---
always fails to work properly, with "PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _REQUEST" in the
last line.
However adding a simple line:
$_REQUEST;
into the beginning of the script does work-around the issue.

I encountered this as well. It seems like the complexity of the script also plays a very important
role. A one liner will never have this bug but a more complex/longer execution script can cause this
bug.
I even did a var_dump($_SERVER); at the entry point of my application (without any prior
modification) and in 2% of the executinos it resulted in a undefined variable notice. If I
don't use a var_dump right at the entry point and access $_SERVER at a later point there is a
higher chance of a undefined variable notice.
I highly assume this is related to auto_globals_jit = On. Once I turned it off I never had this
problem.

Ditto the report by (dominique at ottello dot net)
Except that :
Windows 7 Pro 32 bits
Wamp with Apache 2.4.9 32 bits
PHP 7 Beta 2 from http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-7.0.0beta2-Win32-VC14-x86.zip
Odd error still exists, but a simple script like,
<?php
$server_software = $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'];
echo $server_software;
Works every time with no errors reported.

Hi,
Windows 7 Pro 64 bits
Wamp with Apache 2.4.12 32 bits
PHP 7 Alpha 1 from http://windows.php.net/downloads/qa/php-7.0.0alpha1-Win32-VC14-x86.zip
The index.php file has always error :
[14-Jun-2015 08:56:44 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER in J:\wamp\www\index.php on line
25
Line 25 $server_software = $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'];
I use $_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'] in another file : aviatechno/test/essais.php
echo "<p>SERVER_SOFTWARE =".$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE']."|
</p>\n";
without error.

Ah sorry, here the code that throws the error.
public function getHost(){
return getValueFromArray($_SERVER, "HTTP_HOST");
}
and getValueFromArray is
function getValueFromArray(array $arr, $key){
if(isset($arr[$key])){
return $arr[$key];
}
$levels = explode("[", $key);
$c = count($levels);
foreach($levels as $k => $level){
$level = trim($level, "[]");
if(!isset($arr[$level])){
return NULL;
}
$arr = $arr[$level];
}
return $arr;
}
