PHP 4.0 Bug #6979 Updated: HTTP_*_VARS arrays contain little or no data

ID: 6979 User Update by: webmaster@dtechcomputer.com Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Description: HTTP_*_VARS arrays contain little or no data WOW?! That did give me most of variables I expected (though not in the array I expected them in). I had all of the arrays defined in my php.ini, but in a different order (GPCES instead of EGPCS). I lieu of a lenghty explaination here, could you point me to some documentation that would explain why the order of the array assignment would effect the results so dramatically and also a pointer to the "SAPI" protocol and it;s meaning/affect. Again, THANX for the enlightenment!!
