 New Comment:

In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to
'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info.
We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary
part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable.

Description:
------------
After upgrading to PHP4.3.3RC1 server variables such as $REQUEST_URI
are only accessible using $_SERVER[var], with register_globals turned
ON.

You can see running example on my server:
http://beep.boom.org.il/~sagi/php/servar.php?getvar=hello

The source is at: 
http://beep.boom.org.il/~sagi/php/servar.phps

Reproduce code:
---------------
print "\$REQUEST_URI is: $REQUEST_URI\n";
print "\$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] is: $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]\n";

Expected result:
----------------
$REQUEST_URI is: /~sagi/php/servar.php?getvar=hello
$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] is: /~sagi/php/servar.php?getvar=hello

Actual result:
--------------
$REQUEST_URI is: 
$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] is: /~sagi/php/servar.php?getvar=hello
