Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-13 14:51:15] girgias@php.net Hey Kalle updated the patch may you have another look at it (still the same link http://edit.php.net/?patchID=3314&project=PHP) And if you have time could you have a look at another, larger, patch that removes notions of PHP 4 and PHP 5.0.0? http://edit.php.net/?patchID=3282&project=PHP Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-13 09:56:28] kalle@php.net I reviewed the patch; The patches seems to make the assumption that arrays like $HTTP_POST_VARS is PHP4 only, This is not the case as they were available after the introduction of superglobals like $_POST in 4.1.0 all the way to their deprecation in 5.3.0. Check the register_long_arrays ini directive, which I removed in 5.4.0. (Just assign me if you need more comments as I am not subscribed to bug reports) Thanks =D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-11 22:55:42] girgias@php.net Updated my patch at http://edit.php.net/?patchID=3314&project=PHP to include the fix for this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-11 22:49:27] girgias@php.net Huh, seems reasonable to write it like that Kalle. Will go on and update my current patch for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-03-11 22:34:35] kalle@php.net "PHP implements the static and global modifier for variables..." Something along those lines is how I would phrase it ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
