Description:
------------
$REQUEST_URI==""
Simply that. I use this global variable in order to keep history of the pages visited by the users, so i discovered this bug.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
echo $REQUEST_URI;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
/some_location/some_page.html

Actual result:
--------------
NONE

I'm assuming that this condition came about after an upgrade.  Very likely an upgrade from a version in which register_globals was defaulted to on.  Since 4.3.3 has register globals off that would explain your problem.

Try referencing the variable as $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] or setting register_globals=on in your php.ini (and restarting your webserver).

Regarding the previous feedback. Unfortunately register_globals is turned on. So this is probably still a bug.

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.
