In PHP 4.2.0 and above, register_globals defaults to OFF 
in php.ini. Please try setting it 'on' or use the new super
globals: $_ENV[], $_GET, $_SERVER..etc.

If this is not the case, reopen this bug report.

setting register_globals is set to on and it doesn't work
and it also doesn't work with php4.1.2 with apache2filter from cvs and apache2

Works fine here with PHP 4.2.0RC3 and Apache 2.0.35.

--Jani

p.s. Try RC3 from http://www.php.net/~derick/

Just installed PHP4.2.0RC4 as APXS with Apache2(.0.35) on My Mandrake 8.0 system.
Compiles just fine, works good, but like others mentioned, I do not see the Apache specific environment variables in phpinfo() (f.e: PATH_TRANSLATED is unavailable).

Apache 2 configure options:
./configure  --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so

PHP4.2.0.RC4 configure options:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with--gsql --enable-xml --enable-wddx --enable-ftp --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-ttf=/usr/include --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-tiff-dir=/usr --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/src/freetype-2.0.4 --with-png-dir=/usr/local/src/libpng-1.2.0/ --with-gd=/usr/local/src/gd-2.0.1/ --enable-gd-native-tt --enable-gd-imgstrttf --enable-track-vars

What am I doing wrong, or is it a bug?

Typo: --with-gsql should be --with-pgsql of course.

Same problem with Apache-2.0.35, PHP-4.2.0.  phpinfo() shows this in the enviroment:

PWD /l/src/openssl-0.9.6d-beta1
HZ 100
HOSTNAME deleted :-)
MOZILLA_HOME /usr/lib/netscape
ignoreeof 10
LS_OPTIONS --color=auto -F -b -T 0 

There are *no* CGI-type variables at all.  They all appear in _SERVER[], and as a previous poster wrote, I'm not rewriting all my PHP.

So how do we get this bug reopened?

If a PHP developer contacts me I will allow them access to my cgi-bin/printenv and phpinfo().

First, why the heck are you using Apache 2
Stick with Apache 1.3.x until things stabilize.

Second, turn on register_globals in your php.ini file.

Third, stop spamming us with the same report over and over again.

Here are some things from my phpinfo().  In the "Configuration / PHP core" section:

register_globals On On
safe_mode Off Off
variables_order GPCS GPCS

After "Apache 2.0/Additional Modules (empty)/ Environment":

PWD/tmp/punch_it_in_over_and_over
HZ 100
MOZILLA_HOME /usr/lib/netscape

...and then the rest of root's environment at the moment it ran "apachectl startssl".  No server variables - they're all in _SERVER[].

I'm sorry my previous post arrived three times: that'll teach me for using Links which, no doubt, you guys don't.

There are obviously a few people suffering from this bug.  Is the PHP team's official line "Don't submit bug reports about Apache 2"?  You've stated that Apache 2 support is experimental, but unless you acknowledge that there is a bug here PHP will remain broken.  You say things will stabilise: well, we're trying to help you do that.  Saying "stick with Apache 1" to new developers is like saying "stick with Perl."

On Feb 15 in bug 12691 yohgaki@php.net spammed "This bug has been fixed in CVS."  Did that fix make it into 4.2?

I'll say it again:  if a PHP developer who actually cares wants to see this bug on a 2.0.35/4.2 server, they can contact me.
