Bug #17434: "register_globals = on" does not have any effect

From: jcelle@adeolis.com Operating system: windows 2000 pro PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug description: "register_globals = on" does not have any effect I needed the register_globals turned on to run some ancient scripts. Even though phpinfo() reports that register_globasl is set to 'On' the variables are never created. $_GET array also seems empty (it's the one who should hold my variables). A workaround is to switch to a previous version of PHP like 4.1.1. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17434&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17434&r=globals
