Re: getting $_ENV variables

When I print_r($_ENV); from the CLI on 5.0.4 I get a bunch of results, no problem.... but no $_ENV['OS'] variable. Further, when I check my phpinfo(); output, there are even fewer $_ENV variables printed than the CLI offers. I'm not certain about this, Cor, but my guess is that PHP 5.x.x may have altered the default $_ENV output to hide some of this information --- which is a good thing, in my opinion, because then you won't just have some run-of-the-mill script kiddie checking out the details of a box for known security holes. Of course, that doesn't necessarily stop <? passthru('uname -a')."\n"; ?> or checking the $_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATURE'] variable for the OS information.... so perhaps this response is just one of those white-bread responses. Something to chew on, but you really don't get anything from it. On 5/9/07, C.R.Vegelin <cr.vegelin@hetnet.nl> wrote:

Hi All, I get nothing when using: echo $_ENV['OS']; Also nothing when using: print_r($_ENV); However, phpinfo(); show a full list of ENV settings. How to get $_ENV variables ? I am using PHP version 5.2.0. TIA, Cor
