Status: Open
Bug Type: Arrays related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 4.3.2
New Comment:
an interesting thing: the following code does work as expected.
Perhaps the index is not set unless $GLOBALS is accessed globally?
function not_super()
{
// var_dump($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']);
var_dump(isset($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']));
$a = array_keys($GLOBALS);
var_dump(isset($a['GLOBALS']));
}
not_super();
// var_dump(isset($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']));
$a = array_keys($GLOBALS);
// var_dump(isset($a['GLOBALS']));

This is not bogus. Did you try the code? The whole point is that in a
function, $GLOBALS['GLOBALS'] !== $GLOBALS. It should be the same.
In global scope, $GLOBALS['GLOBALS'] === $GLOBALS

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
$GLOBALS['GLOBALS'] is actually a reference to $GLOBALS if you want to
access the globals just use $GLOBALS.

Description:
------------
the $GLOBALS variables contains indexes to every superglobal except
'GLOBALS' in function scope. In global scope, it contains the
'GLOBALS' index as a self-reference
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function blah() {
var_dump($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']);
}
blah();
?>
Expected result:
----------------
var_dump() of the $GLOBALS superglobal
Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Undefined index: GLOBALS in c:\web pages\chiara\a1.php on line
3
NULL
