Description:
------------
This problem does not seem to be php 4.3.6 specific as I was able to successfully replicated it with php 4.3.4.
The problem is, that a call like http://url/script.php?action=test works fine. If I add &var1= to the url, everything else is lost. The script acts as if I have called just script.php. But this problem only occurs in case I add a variable(var1 here) with no value.

A test for that can be found at http://kamensek.de/test/test.php

Try
- test.php?action=test
- test.php?action=test&var1=
- test.php?action=test&var1=y
and finally test.php?action=&var1=y which is no problem.

The code is at http://kamensek.de/test/test.txt which is just a little example. PHP-config to that is located at http://kamensek.de/phpinfo.php


This is *not* a register_globals problem. register_globals is on.

I don't know if it is important, but I guess I should also mention that I am running php an an Apache 1.3.26 Webserver(Debian stable) with suPHP. The config is like I always do it and I never had any problems. That's why I think this might be a bug which only occurs because of some tiny detail in my configuration.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip

When you try to replicate the problem make sure that you 
are working with stock PHP without any extra modules or 
utilities such as suPHP

Done. Still the same problem(phpinfo is the same url).
 [2004-05-21 20:10 UTC] nico at kamensek dot de 
Now I have tested with PHP running as an apache module with no errors. Seems if suPHP does cause this problem.

This is a known bug, it was reported here before IIRC. As it's not a bug in PHP we set the status to Bogus.
