Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-11-15 00:05:01] dmytton@php.net A useful table of all the available vars on different servers can be found at http://koivi.com/apache-iis-php-server-array.php - will probably be handy for expanding the list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 17:04:41] eru@php.net Moving it to "Verified", as we're in Bughunt-mode... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 16:55:35] philip@php.net Making this a feature request to document and categorize every possible predefined / reserved variable. A fun task indeed :) A few things to keep in mind: - When the variable is or isn't available (like HTTP_HOST, HTTP_REFERER, HTTPS, PHP_SELF, HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA ...) - Keep in mind web servers, operating systems, modes (cgi, module, cli), and related settings/requirements. - Which ones are commonly available. - See also related sources, like HTTP spec. The creative question of the day is how to display and categorize all this information in a friendly manner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 17:32:48] mfischer@php.net Well, it's actually a "Won't fix" then a bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-02 17:19:10] eru@php.net There are lots of other variables that get set, such as REDIRECT, when using mod_redirect, but this is server-dependent, whereas the variables stated in the manual-pages are ones, that you can (almost) surely expect on a normal server-installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
