Bug #7304 GET variables not parsed
Submitted: 2000-10-18 04:53 UTC Modified: 2000-10-18 05:56 UTC
From: Urmo dot Braun at gis2b dot com Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Scripting Engine problem
PHP Version: 4.0.3pl1 OS: Win NT 4
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

GET variables are not parsed.

Example:

URL myscipt.php?a=12&b=34

No variables $a and $b are created. Binaries built from source codes under Linux are working properly.

Workaround is:

$a=$HTTP_GET_VARS["a"];$b=$HTTP_GET_VARS["b"];

I can't get string after "<" character. At "<" character string is truncated. The same happens when I use urlencoded value "%3C".

=================================================

Above mentioned bug was noticied in PHP versions 4.0.1pl2, 4.0.2 and 4.0.3pl1. I have not tested other versions. PHP3 is working properly.

Bug with "<" character was noticied in 4.0.3pl1

=================================================

I am using precompiled binaries downloaded from www.php.net.
Web server is Apache 1.3.12 with JServ 1.1 (binaries downloaded). 4.0.1pl2 and 4.0.2 were installed as CGI, 4.0.3pl1 was installed as Apache module (I tested it also as CGI).

I am using standard php.ini file, provided with downloaded binaries. (Only paths are modified).


Sincerely, Urmo Braun

Sorry there is no "<" character bug. Please don't read this section.

Check your php.ini for 

register_globals = off

and turn it on.
