Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:_SERVER, _ENV access via $$ shows Notice
Description:
------------
If you access $_ENV or $_SERVER the indirect way, via ${'_SERVER'} you get
an
E_NOTICE message. Please see my test scripts.
Test script:
---------------
Producing the bug:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
$x = '_SERVER';
print_r($$x); // Notice: Undefined variable: _SERVER
?>
Workaround with dummy function which "touches" the variable:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
function dummy($dummy) {}
dummy($_SERVER); // "Touch"
$x = '_SERVER';
print_r($$x); // Everything is OK!
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I don't expect an message that $_SERVER or $_ENV are not valid variables. I
kept
searching for hours because I couldn't find any reason, why $_SERVER
disappears,
but is visible in phpinfo(). I do not know why I have to "touch" these
super-
globals first, so that they get "active".
