Bug #16659 Updated: href parameters failing

ID: 16659 Updated by: sander@php.net Reported By: alistair@maclean-nj.com -Status: Bogus +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Apache2 related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Try a print_r($_GET); does it show anything? If it does show the variables, then your problem is that PHP reads /usr/local/lib/php.ini (default) and not /etc/php.ini (only default with special ./configure option). See the phpinfo(); output for more. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-17 14:25:18] alistair@maclean-nj.com While I agree these might work (thought they don't) this is not a support question, this is a bug! I am working with Apache 2.0.35 and PHP 4.2.0 RC4 compiled as a DSO. The behaviour I am describing occurs as described. The behaviour is different to that I get with the same modules under my production systems using Apache 1.3.20/PHP 4.1.2. The php.ini file has register_globals set on. (the default it would seem) (I am assuming it is reading the version in /etc/php.ini) The $_GET does no better than the use of global variables. Have I tripped up over some compile option that is amusing the gods?

Testing an existing site I noticed that I was dropping parameters passed between pages. Using an anchor like: <a href="somepage.php?valuea=something">Click me</a> An code in the other page like: echo "value=:".$valuea.":"; Is not return the expected output (value=:something:) Instead I get (value=::) It looks like the name/value pair is being lost. I have attached two test pages. These work in Apache 1.3.20/PHP 4.1.2.
