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

ID: 6979 Updated by: waldschrott Reported By: webmaster@dtechcomputer.com Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Documentation problem Assigned To: Comments: SAPI simply means server api, there´s CGI,ISAPI,Apachemod etc. (just call phpinfo() and search for "server api") and there are some specialities with each of them (eg. ISAPI does not support getenv() IIRC), but I don´t know if these issues are thoroughly documented the varibles_order EGPCS should have no effect on your HTTP_*_VARS arrays, it only influences the global scope if register_globals=on, please check again if it really does matter which order you´re using and what are the effects I can only advise you to read the whole manual and followe discussion on eg. php-general@lists.php.net to be absolutely enlightened maybe this topic needs some more documentation, moved to docu bug Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-03 07:35:03] webmaster@dtechcomputer.com 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!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-03 07:21:18] webmaster@dtechcomputer.com oops sorry, shouldn't have hit refresh --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-03 07:18:13] webmaster@dtechcomputer.com Your script simply displayed exactly what I said above? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-03 05:29:22] waldschrott@php.net well, rely on! the variable you allowed in "variables_order" are present AND depending on the SAPI you´re using some VARS are not available if you´re using CGI, HTTP_SERVER_VARS will only contain PHP_SELF (most likely on win32) using ApacheModule HTTP_SERVER_VARS will contain many more apachemodule: HTTP_SERVER_VARS["SERVER_NAME"] CGI: HTTP_ENV_VARS["SERVER_NAME"] again, check your variables_order (to contain EGPCS) and keep in mind which SAPI you´re using if there are still problems after that, this would qualify as bug --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-03 04:06:06] webmaster@dtechcomputer.com Your script simply displayed exactly what I said above? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
