I?ve installed PHP 4.2.3 in Solaris 2.8 with the ldap funntions

That?s it.

./configure --with-ldap

Everything works fine except the variables $argc and $argv. They don?t work.

If you use

echo "Value of ARGC = $argc"; it doesn?t work.

I?ve sured myself that the register_argc_argv varible is set to "1".

That?s a bug from this version. My previous version intalled was PHP 4.1.1 (without LDAP) and work ok both variables.


EXAMPLE:


<?php
// File: bug.php

echo "The value is $argc";

?>

Command:
>php bug.php 123

RESULT:
The value is

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.

In CLI, register_globals doesn't affect this anymore, right?  Please share the history of this so it can be fully documented.  Currently the docs say they will exist regardless.

Changing to doc problem :-))

That?s OK. Sorry, as Philip said, it was a documentation problem. That?s because I updated from PHP 4.1.1, to PHP 4.2.3.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report, this is now documented.  In CLI $argc and $argv exist as of PHP 4.3.0 no matter the register_globals setting.  In CGI register_globals still applies.
