Description:
------------
(Note: This was originally posted in combination with a segfault bug, which got prematurely closed)

PHPs virtual() does not behave quite like the apache
#include virtual="": When virtual() is used to call another php script, the query string in the virtual() call is ignored. For example, if you call virtual("/file?x=y"), the variable "x" will not be set in the included php script. An example of this is posted at:

  http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a1

The source for the two files used in this example are at:

  http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a1-php.txt
  http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a2-php.txt

However, if you call the first script as "a1?x=y", the variable "x" will be set to "y" in the second script. 

This is not the way the Apache virtual function behaves: With Apache, the query string in the virtual call is passed to the script, as can be seen in the following shtml file:

  http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a3

The source to this file is at:

 http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a3-shtml.txt

Furthermore, all query string variables are reset when the virtual call is issued. This can be seen by calling the shtml file:

  http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a4?x=y

With the corresponding source code at:

 http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a4-shtml.txt

Note that the x=y declaration is not passed to the php script.

When calling virtual the GET/POST/COOKIE for the current script (the one calling) virtual get passed to the script's who's output is included via virtual. Use file_get_contents() instead.
