From: rob@streamerworld.co.uk Operating system: WinMe+Apache203 / XP+IIS5 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: *Web Server problem Bug description: Unexpected undefined (builtin) variables such as 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' AND 'PHP_SELF' I installed PHP V4.2.1 on Win ME with Apache2.0.3 and discovered that several PHP builtin variables were reported as undefined. Likewise I installed V4.2.0 and observed the same problem. I then upgraded OS to XP with IIS5.1 and reinstalled the latter versions of PHP and obserevd the same problem. I then installed PHP V4.0.6 and noticed that PHP recognised most of the builtin variables. However 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' still wasn't recognised and session_start fn failed. The PHP scripts have been proven online. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17447&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=17447&r=globals
