Bug #15108: Server variables to exist globally w/ register_globals = off

From: philip@cornado.com Operating system: n/a PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Server variables to exist globally w/ register_globals = off In short, when register_globals = off, server variables would/should continue to register globally. Variables such as: $PHP_SELF, $DOCUMENT_ROOT, $REMOTE_ADDR, etc. As currently they do not. And on a sidenote, the current docs imply that server variables always exist, regardless of setting. Some possible options: a) Create a new config setting, such as register_server_globals or register_predefined_globals b) Make register_globals allow for individual EGPCS settings (default to S) c) Make server variables always exist, like track_vars do now. d) ... This will help ease the register_globals = off transition as well as cause a lot less "4.2.0 BROKE PHP!!!" emails. But most importantly, this will be useful. -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=15108&edit=1
