Re: getting $_ENV variables

Cor, If it's suggesting that it's an array, that's a little baffling, because that means there are multiple entries (at least two), but they appear to either be null or otherwise unable to display. Did you get that result when running the script from the CLI or via the web? On 5/10/07, C.R.Vegelin <cr.vegelin@hetnet.nl> wrote:

Thanks Daniel, Greg, Richard, I made a script with: <?php print_r($_ENV); ?> and it results only into: "Array ( )" nothing else ... So it must be caused by a "different" environment ? All I want is to check the $_ENV['OS'] within PHP scripts.

    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.
