Bug #15007 Updated: New superglobals not documented

ID: 15007 Updated by: goba Reported By: fredk@L5Software.com Status: Open Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Please use "_SERVER" as your search term. $ may be special for htdig. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 17:09:53] philip@php.net This appears to be a website problem, not a documentation problem. Searching for '$_SERVER' results in matches for 'server', over 2000 of them. If this was a documentation problem, zero results would exist. This is a website problem/feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 16:55:15] mfischer@php.net Reclassified, reopened. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 16:46:10] fredk@L5Software.com I appreciate you're working on the _* documentation, but the problem remains there is no way to search for "$_SERVER" and get results that contain the exact string ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 16:35:07] imajes@php.net yes, we are aware of this, and documentation people are working on documentation for _* global variables. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-12 15:33:43] fredk@L5Software.com I've seen the new "$_SERVER" (for example) variable arrays mentioned, as replacements for the old $HTTP_SERVER_VARS (I think) array, but I wasn't able to easily find any pages that mention them. I therefore put $_SERVER (no quotes) in the search box, and got pages with the word "server", not "$_SERVER" so I tried entering "$_SERVER" (a quoted string), which produced the same results. Problems: 1. It appears there is no way to find pages with the exact text $_SERVER using this search system. 2. Discussion of $_SERVER (and $POST, $_ENV, etc.) arrays needs to be findable in the documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15007&edit=1
