I am Using PHP 1.2.3 and Apache 1.3.26

When you submit a form or click on a link the $QUERY_STRING is being nulled.  I figured out a simple (but unsecure) work around.

-WORK AROUND-
Create a file with the contents below
<? $QUERY_STRING=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING']; ?>

Then add that file to the value auto_prepend_file in the php.ini and set the register_globals = on in the same file

This fixed my Problem but I hope there is a better solution

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.
For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP,
please visit http://www.php.net/support.php

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

QUERY_STRING only contains the data passed via GET. So, when you submit a form via POST method or click on a link that does not have any variables passed via GET then obviously the QUERY_STRING will be blank.
If this is not the case please re-open the bug with a correct PHP version.
