The >> shopping >> cart that pixami supplied to us requires the $_SERVER super globals. $_SERVER should not usually be completely empty... But it might depend on some php.ini config settings to be populated. Also note that whatever *IS* in $_SERVER is completely dependent on what the SAPI provides. PHP doesn't "put things in $_SERVER" PHP exposes server input variable via $_SERVER So if what you want isn't in $_SERVER, then it's not there because your web-server (or CGI or FCGI or CLI) is not providing it in the first place, so PHP can't expose what isn't there. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want? I want you to buy a CD from some indie artist. http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch Yeah, I get a buck. So?
