You say: "Env is parsed first, so no wonder it gets overwritten by GET that is parsed second."

But I am sorry, my situation is direct opposite. As you can see GET is overwritten by Env.

You propably misunderstood how it works, it's the opposite:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.variables-order

"..for example if variables_order is set to "EGPCS", register_globals is enabled, and both $_GET['action'] and $_POST['action'] are set, then $action will contain the value of $_POST['action'] as P comes after G.."

And now I misread the results. :D

Are you by any chance using PHP as CGI/FastCGI binary here?
If so, this is expected, although not documented.
In CGI mode the environment is considered part of $_SERVER variables too so having that 'S' causes these to be overwritten.

Yes, phpinfo() says:

Server API 	CGI/FastCGI

Now it's clear. Thank you.

Okay, I'm reclassifying this, the docs need some comment about this issue.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
