Bug #12324 Updated: arg_separator.* broken

ID: 12324 User updated by: voudras@phpking.org Reported By: voudras@phpking.org Old Summary: arg_separator.output broken Old Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: This is a tricky lil bug, real easy to overlook. At the following url i have a script with your example code - and it does not function properly: http://wart.phpking.org/test3.php you can see some other examples of how this doesnt work at http://wart.phpking.org/test.php http://wart.phpking.org/test2.php again, this seems to execute fine on windows based php/apache systems (which is probably a good clue as to where the problem exists). - ini_get("arg_separator.input") does not return the 'local' value, but instead the default or php.ini value (this is different than with ini_get( "arg_separator.output"). Perhpas this is intensional? - the above problem probably contributes to the fact that where the query_string is parsed for variables - it always gets the default arg_separator.* Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-31 11:00:07] andy@php.net ok... the problem exists in your script at http://wart.phpking.org/test.php but using the EXACT script that I created, it works fine... Please use this one... (EXACTLY) status -> closed ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-31 10:55:35] andy@php.net i have gotten emails from people saying that they have reproduced this error. Can anybody from PHP verify this? I have not been able to reproduce this error (using the script in my last post.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-24 09:20:39] andy@php.net you have your params mixed up. replace arg_separator.output with arg_separator.input and things will work. I modified your script below. This one works as you wanted it to. <?php global $HTTP_POST_VARS,$HTTP_GET_VARS, $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS, $PHP_SELF; ini_set("arg_separator.input", ";"); define("a", ini_get("arg_separator.input")); if($HTTP_GET_VARS){ $total = count($HTTP_GET_VARS); echo "Displaying GET variables"; while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) { echo "<br />Key: '$key' Value '$val'"; } } echo "<hr>"; echo "<A HREF=\"$PHP_SELF?i=am".a."do=one\">Click to activate test</a>"; echo "<hr>"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-23 20:22:46] voudras@phpking.org I've tested this problem on both php4.0.5 and 4.0.6, and it has also reproduced on other machines. I will not however, that this problem does not seem to occur on windows/apache machines. the problem is that get vars using an arg_separator.output other than '&' will be ignored when attempting to parse HTTP_GET_VARS. there is an example avaliable at http://wart.phpking.org/test.php the source is visible at http://wart.phpking.org/test.phps a side note - it would seem that the transparent session info appended to a url by php will also not follow a new 'arg_separator.output' value.. for example - if i set the arg_separator.output to ';'.. my PHPSESSID will still be appended to the url with a '&' -voudras ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12324&edit=1
