Bug #16238 Updated: some HTTP vars seems to have no value

ID: 16238 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: akos@docca.hu -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: This is not bug. $_REQUEST[] contains all the following types of variables: ; This directive describes the order in which PHP registers GET, POST, Cookie, ; Environment and Built-in variables (G, P, C, E & S respectively, often ; referred to as EGPCS or GPC). Registration is done from left to right, newer ; values override older values. variables_order = "EGPCS" So of course it works correctly if you delete the cookie. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 15:33:18] akos@docca.hu Dear Komissar Derrick, Here we go: Case 1: (setcookie("partner");) COOK: array(10) { ["webcalendar_login"]=> string(4) "akos" ["partner"]=> string(0) "" } REQ: array(11) { ["partner"]=> string(0) "" ... POST: array(2) { ["partner"]=> string(3) "162" Case 2: (setcookie("partner", "", time() - 3600); $_COOKIE contains no "partner", POST: array(2) { ["partner"]=> string(3) "162" REQ: array(11) { ["partner"]=> string(3) "162" Sorry about my slothfulness... :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 15:10:28] derick@php.net Again, what does this show in your example: var_dump ($_COOKIE) It's important to see this in order to check this out :) Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 15:09:00] akos@docca.hu Yes, I have a cookie says partner= As I wrote, the problem has been solved: I had to change setcookie("partner") to setcookie("partner", "", time() - 3600); but I don't know exactly why. Before the upgrade (4.0.x to 4.1.2) had no matter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 14:49:05] derick@php.net What does this show in your example: var_dump ($_COOKIE) Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-23 14:41:45] akos@docca.hu I don't know is this a bug or feature: The problem: some of the http vars seems to has no value referenced by $varname or by $_REQUEST["varname"] but it has the right value at $_GET/$_POST["varname"]. Cause: a cookie named "varname" not deleted correctly by setcookie("varname") just truncated to "". I have this simple code (the point is: $partner): <?php echo "<br> -----------------<br>REQ:<br> "; var_dump($_REQUEST); echo "<br> -----------------<br>GET:<br>"; var_dump($_GET); echo "<br> -----------------<br>POST:<br> "; var_dump($_POST); echo "<br> -----------------<br> "; ?> Result: ----------------- REQ: array(12) { ["partner"]=> string(0) "" ["haszon"]=> string(1) "4" ["webcalendar_login"]=> string(4) "akos" ----------------- GET: array(0) { } ----------------- POST: array(2) { ["partner"]=> string(3) "162" ["haszon"]=> string(1) "4" } ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16238&edit=1
