#28221 [NEW]: Query_String doesn't work if last var is blank
From: haldous2 at yahoo dot com
Operating system: windows 2000
PHP version: 4.3.4
PHP Bug Type: URL related
Bug description: Query_String doesn't work if last var is blank
Description:
------------
If last var is blank, no query_string is produced. This is running on a
dell server with apache web server on linux
page.php?var1=a&var2=b&var3=
This will produce
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; = nothing!
$_GET['var1'] = nothing!
$_GET['var2'] = nothing!
$_GET['var3'] = nothing!
page.php?var1=a&var2=b&var3=c
This will produce
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; = nothing!
$_GET['var1'] = a
$_GET['var2'] = b
$_GET['var3'] = c
This is really annoying since it has worked on 2 other servers that I have
used. am I missing something? I've done some research and found that
globals is ON, but with $_GET it doesn't matter if it's ON.
What am I missing here?
Also, there is no way I can POST these vars. I have certain pages with
text links that I cannot process with a POST.
Here is a live test link to help you visualize the problem
go to:

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
print "var1 = ".$_GET['var1']."<br>";
print "var2 = ".$_GET['var2']."<br>";
print "var3 = ".$_GET['var3']."<br>";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
link 1: var1=a var2=b var3=c
link 2: var1=a var2=b var3=
link 3: var1= var2=b var3=c
Actual result:
--------------
link 1: var1=a var2=b var3=c
link 2: var1= var2= var3=
link 3: var1= var2=b var3=c
Link 3 is used to verify that if the last var has data the query string
sends these three variables.
