Bug #16632 Updated: Introductory Tutorial tut.php uses $HTTP_USER_AGENT

ID: 16632 Updated by: philip@php.net Reported By: heyjohnlim@yahoo.com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: and just a few comments: a) $HTTP_USER_AGENT may work in any php version, it's just that as of 4.2.0 register_globals directive defaults to off, so it's not created automagically that way. b) One can always extract() SERVER vars in such cases, something like: if (!ini_get('register_globals')) { extract($HTTP_SERVER_VARS); } c) Yes it's agreed, the docs will and are being updated to not assume the above or register_globals = on.
