#27972 [NEW]: register globals not loading from ini file

From: megan dot boardman at rweinnogy dot com Operating system: UNIX 5.1 ALPHA PHP version: 4.3.5 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: register globals not loading from ini file Description: ------------ I have some legacy scripts that require register_globals to be 'on'. I had this working under 4.3.3 but upgraded this morning to 4.3.5 and it no longer works, even though I'm using the same ini file. Basic behaviour is that webforms generated by the PHP will not post - i.e. variables created by posting are not available in the scope of the PHP script. (We had this problem upon upgrading from PHP 3 to PHP 4.3.3 but it went away upon switching on register_globals.) Running echo(ini_get('register_globals')) prints 0. Running phpinfo() tells me that the path to php.ini is /usr/local/lib. In /usr/local/lib/php.ini I have register_globals = On and safe_mode=off. Configure line is: './configure' '--with-oci8=/opt/oracle/product/8.1.7' '--with-apxs=/usr/internet/httpd/bin/apxs' Reproduce code: --------------- echo(ini_get('register_globals')) Expected result: ---------------- Expect it to print 1 when php.ini file says register_globals = On. Actual result: -------------- 0 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27972&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27972&r=float
