I think it makes sense to warn beginners of Php (like me) to take extra care about deprecated
variables. I was wondering why the command
echo $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
was giving me no output at all until I finally discovered that the autoglobal variable $_SERVER was
returning an empty string (I discovered it was empty by looking at its length via strlen function).
I finally saw the note supplied by Jakesyuk that informs to read PHP Autoglobals Note which I did
and found out that I had to use the deprecatted syntax
echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];
which worked fine. So begginers be informed to try the later before you panic and start to get
lost!!! Good luck.
