Hi!

I help run you're Australian Mirror (PlanetMirror.com), and have recently upgraded one of our "testing" web servers to PHP 4.2.2. However, upon trying to download php-4.2.2.tar.bz2 (or any other file), I get "Invalid file requested for download!" on the 4.2.x box, even though I can download them from the live servers (running 4.1.2).

Upon investigation, it seems the do_download.php script (and, possibly, a number of other pages in the web site) rely on variables from GET/POST requests, that are assumed to be available globally. From 4.2.x, these are supposed to be accessed using $_GET, etc. I think this should be fixed, or a note sent out that all mirror's should put a "php_value register_globals 'on'" line in the Apache configuration for the PHP mirror?

Your help with this will be appreciated.

Regards,
Dan Goodes

Nearly all of our pages rely on register_globals=on...

I have added the info on register globals to
http://php.net/README.mirror

Can anyone please inform the mirror site owners? Maybe in the same time as they get to know the new mirroring system?

worked fine, looks like it's really a fix the mirrors information issue.
