#26825 [Com]: $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] not being set on IIS6

ID: 26825 Comment by: IsaacSchlueter at hotmail dot com Reported By: konkew at rpi dot edu Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: I ran into this problem in IIS 5.0 running on XP, with PHP versions 4.3.4 and 4.3.3, installed with either the installer or by extracting the zip. The odd thing, I didn't have this problem before. All $_SERVER vars were working fine. But, like an idiot, I installed Apache, then uninstalled it when I realized that it would make some other things break. Now, there's no $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. Strange, huh? I tried removing and re-installing IIS, but no effect. Checked through the whole php.ini file, and played around with settings. Nothing seemed to make it come back. I searched google for info on this, and from what I found, there are a few other cases of this happening, and in many, it seems that the common element is installing Apache and then removing it and installing IIS. I did this on another computer just to be sure that that's the reason, and sure enough, same thing happens. Steps to reproduce: Install IIS. Install PHP. Install Apache. Remove Apache. Several $_SERVER vars are suddenly gone. This might be a bug in Apache and/or IIS rather than PHP, but I'm completely stumped either way. It seems that I've completely cleaned the system and restarted, but the problem didn't go away. I have no idea what could have been changed that I'm missing. My only thought at this point is to back up the data, format the drive, and start over from scratch. But I'd really love to avoid that. If someone can repro this and then fix it, I'll pay you for the solution. But beware, you might just get yourself stuck in the same position I am!
