Hi boys:
I'm using Linux RedHat8.0 and httpd-2.0.40 from RedHat packages, I built php rpms for this plataform of the PHP-4.2.4-dev snapshot 09/10/2002 to solve a problem related to file_exists, now that problem is solved, I'm using register_global in On but when my scripts run something like this:

getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT")

I don't get the value that this function return to me in the past PHP-4.2.3, I look the phpinfo() and I can't find this enviroment variable, rather I see a _SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] enviroment variable, but if I have register_global in On I should see this variable isn't it??
Well I hope this helps beacuse If don't I have to change a lot of code.
                                     Bye Aliet

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

The getenv() problem existing till about 2 weeks ago when getenv for Apache 2 was implemented. It works fine for me in Apache 2.0.40 and latest CVS.
var_dump(getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT'));
var_dump($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
result in the exact same output. 
By the looks of it, it seems that you've downloaded the 'stable' snapshot, instead you should've downloaded the 'latest' snapshot.

Although this bug claims to be fixed, I've got the following configuration and am still having problems:

RedHat 7.3
Apache/2.0.43 
mod_ssl/2.0.43 
OpenSSL/0.9.6b 
PHP/4.2.4-dev

Unless something has changed from Apache 2.0.40 to 2.0.43, it seems that the getenv() bug is still present. Using the example code from "[9 Oct 9:12pm] iliaa@php.net", I get the following output:

bool(false) 
string(50) "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" 

Any ideas?

You should be using 4.3.0-dev (unstable).
