Bug description: setcookie fails if $_GET value is empty
I'm running php as CGI API and register globals and i'm trying the
following script:
<?php
$something = $_GET["something"];
$value = "this is a value";
if (!setcookie ("TestCookie", $value)) {
print ("cookie NOT set!");
} else {
print ("cookie set!");
}
?>
with the following outputs:
1. www.server.com/script.php?something=
outputs: 'cookie set!'
2. www.server.com/script.php
outputs: 'cookie NOT set!'
3. www.server.com/script.php?somehting=value
outputs: 'cookie set!'
4. www.server.com/script.php?something_else=
outputs: 'cookie NOT set!'
so if I try to read a variable (can be GET/COOKIE/POST/...) and it is not
explicitly specified, even if it's empty, cookies can't be set anymore.
I think it has to do with being a CGI API, because on another server where
it's installed as apache API I don't have this problem.
can anyone verify this?
