Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-12 18:58:19] jamwhitl at cisco dot com My mistake, I got hung up on the wrong version. I'll try the 7.2 release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-12 18:34:01] spam2 at rhsoft dot net when someone tells you "It is fixed in 7.2" your response "It's not fixed. I've have 7.1.8" is just nonsense (even if we ignore that 7.1.8 is *not* the current bugfix release because PHP 7.1.9 built: Aug 31 2017 15:38:22) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-12 18:31:00] ab@php.net @jamwhitl please fetch any PHP 7.2 pre here http://windows.php.net/qa/ , or any latest 7.2 snapshot. Mentioned above, but just to be clear - this fix is not present and won't be in PHP 7.1 and lower. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-12 18:19:57] jamwhitl at cisco dot com It's not fixed. I've have 7.1.8 on two development servers and a production sever. The problem is random with, anywhere from 2 hours to a week after apache is restarted. Extensive testing has indicated the problem is with other superglobals like $_POST and $_SESSION as well. Restating Apache always resolves it, but that's not an acceptable solution in a production environment. I think this bug should be reopened, or at least a new one opened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-12 17:38:09] ab@php.net It is fixed in 7.2. It would be great the pre releases could be tested therefore. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
