Web-server pass PATH_INFO=/path/info (for this URL), but PhpInfo() in PHP 4.3.0 will NOT show PATH_INFO in the list! All old 4.2.x versions works OK with this case, and previous 4.3.0-dev too, but in 4.3.0 just drop PATH_INFO in any case. This is definitely 4.3.0 BUG. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 11:26:28] [EMAIL PROTECTED] register globals has nothing to do with this. For 4.3, cgi variables were changed to correctly conform to cgi specs. This means that PATH_INFO is now in fact PATH_INFO as per: http://hostname/script_name.php/path/info?query_string Use SCRIPT_NAME or PHP_SELF if you need to refer to /script_name.php, and use SCRIPT_FILENAME if you need to get the full path to script_name.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 06:15:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] In PHP 4.2.0, the 'register_globals' setting default changed to 'off'. See http://www.php.net/release_4_2_0.php for more info. We are sorry about the inconvenience, but this change was a necessary part of our efforts to make PHP scripting more secure and portable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-13 05:30:53] [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can a PHP variable which existed when running 4.2.3 then disappears, without a mention that it was going to, when running 4.3.0 not be considered a bug? I have the same problem here. Yes, PHP has to rely on the server environment for the values to the PHP Variables, but if one version of PHP can see it and a newer one cannot, then surely the code has been modified incorrectly in the newer version. Nothing else has changed on my server - I can easily test this by having PHP in two different directories, PHP.4.2.3 and PHP.4.3.0. Naming each to PHP in turn and running the phpinfo() command produces a version with PHP_INFO, i.e. for 4.2.3 and one without, for 4.3.0 Regards, Taomyn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-11 12:15:55] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. php.ini settings do not have any impact on the enviroment variables. PHP will automatically gather all avaliable enviroment variables and make then avaliable to you, if an enviroment variable does not exist it simply means it is not set. In which case PHP cannot make it avaliable to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-11 06:37:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using Windows 2000 with IIS 5, and I've tried both CGI and ISAPI mode. I updated my server to PHP4.30 on 2 Jan, as you may notice in another bug-report I submitted ( http:// bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20426 ). I did not run Windows Update this week, and I disabled auto-update service since I don't trust Microsoft. :-) Anyway, it should not be called as 'bug', and I have not trouble to modify my codes (just find/replace PATH_INFO with PHP_SELF.) I'm just curious about what is going on. Does PHP.INI would affect environment variables ? I'm using all default settings but enabling register_globals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
