#36706 [Opn->Bgs]: $_GET always empty

ID: 36706 Updated by: mike@php.net Reported By: coshellking at yahoo dot com dot ph -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: CGI related Operating System: Fedora 3 PHP Version: 5.1.2 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php QUERY_STRING is just an environment variable, thus $_SERVER contains it. The CLI SAPI does not attempt to fill the request superglobals. Use parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $_GET), but I strongly discourage from abusing the CLI SAPI as CGI SAPI.
