PHP 4.0 Bug #3305: Global vars and mail() unpredictability

From: joel@nextstudio.com Operating system: Solaris 2.6 PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3 PHP Bug Type: Other Bug description: Global vars and mail() unpredictability $SERVER_NAME, $REQUEST_URI, and $QUERY_STRING aren't being echoed out in the email body. They work fine in the from and reply-to headers, though. Here's what i get in my email: -- begin email snippet -- Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2000 14:25:08 -0800 Message-Id: <200001242225.OAA04055@unionbay.> To: joel@nextstudio.com Subject: Success From: webmaster@unionbay.nexthost.com Reply-To: webmaster@unionbay.nexthost.com X-Mailer: PHP/4.0b3 Sender: nobody@unionbay.nexthost.com Zip search database rebuilt. Num of records: 8711 Monday, January 24, 2000 02:25:08 pm HOST: , URI: REMOTE_ADDR: -- end email snippet Below is the code that I used to generate the above response. -- begin script snippet1 -- /* * bool status_mail(bool end, string subj, string message, string recpt) * * email result status */ function status_mail($bomb, $subj, $msg, $recpt="joel@nextstudio.com") { $r = mail($recpt, $subj, $msg."\n\n".date("l, F j, Y h:i:s a")."\n". "HOST: ".$SERVER_NAME.", URI: ".$REQUEST_URI.$QUERY_STRING."\n". "REMOTE_ADDR: ".$REMOTE_ADDR."\n", "From: webmaster".$SERVER_NAME."\nReply-To: webmaster".$SERVER_NAME."\nX-Mailer: PHP/". phpversion()); if ($bomb) die($subj.": ".$msg); else echo $subj.": ".$msg; return $r; } -- end script snippet1 -- It's in it's own include file which is then called as: -- start script snippet2 -- status_mail(false, "Success", "Zip search database rebuilt.\n\nNum of records: ".$i); -- end script snippet2 -- $i is an int if that makes any difference. Any ideas? Joel
