Description:
------------
When compiling PHP 5.3.13 with Apache 2.4.2 (prefork MPM), opcode cachers like Xcache and APC seem to produce invalid code.
In case of APC, PHP will generate notices about "undefined variable: _SERVER". Besides that, both APC and Xcache will sometimes generate errors about not finding includes that were included from the current directory of a script.
Whenever I downgrade Apache to 2.2 and recompile PHP to use that version instead, the opcode cachers work fine as they should.

I haven't been able to find a reproducible test case, but I assume this comes from a change in Apache 2.4.

I don't see why the Apache version would affect APC. You will have to provide 
more details on this one.

As we're talking about mod_php, changing the Apache version can give different results. I'll search further to find out if I can get a testcase that reproduces the problem, but so far I haven't found much about this.

Fact is that both APC and Xcache have nearly identical problems (not being able to find include files included with require('./include.php')), and given the fact that APC complains about missing _SERVER, I assume something goes wrong with passing information about the request between apache and mod_php when using Apache 2.4.2.

Note that either module works fine when running with Apache 2.2.22, and that I don't see any notice when disabling APC or Xcache when running with Apache 2.4.2.

Is this still a problem with current PHP 5.4.4 and current APC svn-trunk?
