PHP 4.0 Bug #8062 Updated: $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS

ID: 8062 Updated by: zak Reported By: sam@samware.net Status: Feedback Bug Type: Variables related Assigned To: Comments: Globally-scoped variables are not imported into the namespace of a class by default. Globally-scoped variable must be imported into local scopes (like class and function definitions) using the globals keyword. This is not a bug - it is simply the way that the language works.

Please add some example code in which it doesn't work right. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-30 18:52:12] sam@samware.net I am using PHP 403pl1 with Apache 1.3.14. Everything works great except for $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS. It never returns a value. I can retrieve the value via $GLOBALS but I would prefer to stick with $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS. This worked fine until I installed 403pl1 :) I would be glad to supply more info if needed.
