Bug #14295 Updated: Scope of globals has changed

ID: 14295 User updated by: v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de Reported By: v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de Status: Closed Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Win2k PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: Zak: I did try it and could reproduce with your code. I found out, that it only happens when i'm running my scripts on Win2k. On Linux my scripts are running as expected and I don't need to declare $PHP_SELF global again. The only difference in my PHP configuration is: On Win2k virtual dirs is enabled, on Linux it's disabled. Well, I don't know where to set virtual directory support on/off, so I can't verify. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-04 19:34:58] sniper@php.net I can not reproduce this with PHP 4.1.0RC5 either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-02 01:52:04] zak@php.net Cannot reproduce under PHP 4.1.0 w/ Linux Please try the code below. Save the files under the names indicated in the comments and try running test.php: # test.php <?php include 'test.inc'; echo "Main File: $PHP_SELF" ?> # test.inc <?php echo "Included File: $PHP_SELF" ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 15:07:54] v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de EXAMPLE: // Main script // The global variables are available in this script include("form.inc.php"); ... // End main script ---- // File: form.inc.php // The global variables from the main script are not available here <form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post"> [form] </form> // End file: form.inc.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 12:25:30] sniper@php.net Please include short example scripts here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-30 03:51:40] v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de The following bug or feature (not yet sure what it is ;)) is related to the scope of global variables. SYSTEM: I use PHP 4.0.6 on Win2k pro as i downloaded it from this web site. The loading of extra modules does not change the described behaviour. The Server API is Apache (Apache V. 1.3.22 win) PHP.INI: register_globals and register_argc_argv is ON DESCRIPTION: I have the global variable $PHP_SELF. Now i include a file where I want to use $PHP_SELF. Within the included file, $PHP_SELF is unknown (it has lost it's global state), and i have to declare it global again. This appears for any other global variables too, $PHP_SELF is just an example- This behaviour seems to be new to PHP 4.0.6, because i didn't have the problem with 4.0.5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14295&edit=1
