Bug #14295 Updated: Scope of globals has changed

ID: 14295 User updated by: v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de Reported By: v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de Status: Open Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Win2k PHP Version: 4.0.6 Old Assigned To: zak Assigned To: New Comment: zak: I have set up a webserver and ftp for you to do the tests you need. The account is running on the system which produces the problem. Feel free to use it as you like. NOTE: The server might be offline for a short while sometimes. This is because of redialing and submitting a new IP to DynDNS.org every 24 hours. Additionally the server will be down on Sunday, 12/9/01 00:00:00 Am to 10:00:00 Am european time. If you should have additional questions or wishes related to the account do not hesitate to ask me. HTTP and FTP: phpnet.homeip.net The password for the FTP will reach you by email.

If we are lucky, this bug report will help us find what weird thing makes $PHP_SELF behave strangely under Win32. Could you please try the same test with a different global value? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-05 01:49:07] v.puttrich@digitalliquid.de 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
