MediaWiki is broken on master. MediaWiki depends on $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']. Other apps depend on this too. Drupal and Wordpress are not affected. If variables_order is set to EGPCS then $_SERVER is populated as normal. On 7.2, 7.1, 7.0, $_SERVER is populated when variables_order=GPCS or EGPCS, so $_SERVER is populated by default. This this an intentional behavior change? Or a bug? I am still investigating, but at this time I believe this is caused by this: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=bdf77f02f637bc0efbb55a800be1860279cc5b3e If this is an intentional behavior change, then http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.variables-order should be updated now or when PHP 7.3 is released (also should tell MediaWiki). Test script: --------------- Check phpinfo(); on web server. Or var_dump($_SERVER) on web server. This isn't a problem on CLI sapi. php -i includes $_SERVER ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75982&edit=1
