#26833 [NEW]: Globals not being defined with 'register_globals On' at random

From: php at f0e dot net Operating system: FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p10 PHP version: 4.3.4 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: Globals not being defined with 'register_globals On' at random Description: ------------ Running Apache/2.0.48 and PHP 4.3.4 PHP configuration: './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-openssl' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-zlib' '--with-gd' '--with-freetype-dir' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-mime-magic' '--disable-cgi' '--with-mhash' Changes to the php.ini-dist: 'register_globals = On', 'display_errors = Off', 'log_errors = On' when I attempt to access (normally) global variables (like $REMOTE_ADDR -- I know I should be using $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] but I cannot force my clients to update all their scripts), maybe 1/10th of the time $REMOTE_ADDR is undefined. $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR] is defined all the time however. I tried moving back to 4.3.3 which still experiences the same problem. Reproduce code: --------------- <? print "REMOTE_ADDR: '$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]'<br>\n"; print "REMOTE_ADDR: '$REMOTE_ADDR'"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- REMOTE_ADDR: '127.0.0.1'<br> REMOTE_ADDR: '127.0.0.1' Actual result: -------------- REMOTE_ADDR: '127.0.0.1'<br> REMOTE_ADDR: '' -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26833&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26833&r=float
