Bug #24275 Register Globals not really On
Submitted: 2003-06-21 00:34 UTC Modified: 2003-06-21 07:39 UTC
From: SPAMstop dot weezey at ontn dot net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: *General Issues
PHP Version: 4.3.3RC1 OS: FreeBSD 4.8-stable
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
I went from 4.3.2 yesterday to 4.3.3RC1 today with only one thing changing.  register_globals = On doesn't seem to work today.  I know I should update my scripts but some of my older stuff works fine, but needs register globals to be on.

I installed from FreeBSD ports, so now I have to 4.3.2 from scratch I'm guessin'.  Unless the ports can be updated before Monday morning or someone can tell me what I'm not doing right.

from php.ini : 
register_globals = On

recognized in phpinfo.php as existing with the Configuration File (php.ini) Path field.

$HTTP_USER_AGENT yields no value,
$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] works dandily.

Any help would be helpful.  Thanks in advance.
