Yes, my PHPinfo shows under configuration: variables_order = GPCS I will test EGPCS setting in php.ini

But that also means that code using $_ENV cannot be run with hosts hiding the environment settings ?!

Correct. Sucks I know, but some hosts just do this.

And I assume that EGPCS will also affect: <?php print_r($_FILES); ?>

No, $_FILES isn't part of the Environment list, it's created again at run-time when a file upload occurs. It would be worth running a test to see if they have tied it to the $_POST array, i.e. remove the 'P' from EGPCS and see if $_FILES gets lost with it. I would be curious to know, although I can't think of a single host that would be stupid enough to disable $_POST :) Cheers, Rich -- Zend Certified Engineer http://www.corephp.co.uk "Never trust a computer you can't throw out of a window" -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
