Which SAPIs? (Apache module, FastCGI, etc.) Does it happen if you reference $_SERVER at all and not just with ['argv'], as in function notcalled() { $_SERVER; } Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-12-20 13:18:06] adam at lavoaster dot co dot uk Description: ------------ This came out of looking into an issue here - https://github.com/symfony/symfony/issues/25511 If $_SERVER['argv'] exists anywhere in the code, it doesn't matter if it isn't called, just as long it's included, it will add 'argv' and 'argc' to the return of 'getenv()' when called without any parameters. Just a note: If you have xdebug installed, this issue will not present itself. Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(getenv()); function notcalled() { $_SERVER['argv']; } Expected result: ---------------- It shouldn't return 'argv' or 'argc' in the return array, especially as 'argv' is an array which would break scripts that would directly use getenv(), like Symfony process did, straight into proc_open. Actual result: -------------- It returns 'argv' and 'argc' in the returning array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75712&edit=1
