Description:
------------
If I search for $_SERVER in the online documentation, which takes me to 
  http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=%24_SERVER&scope=quickref
then the two links at the top where it says 
  $_SERVER is a super global, and is home to many predefined variables ...
the links on "$_SERVER" and "super global" go to
  http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=reserved.variables.server.php&lang=en&scope=404quickref
which says
  "reserved.variables.server.php doesn't exist. Closest matches:..."
which doesn't make looking at the doc for $_SERVER easy!

I think $_SERVER should now link to 
  http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php
and superglobals to 
  http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.superglobals.php

I imagine, though I haven't tried, you might get similar failed links on searching for other superglobals.


Test script:
---------------
http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=%24_SERVER&scope=quickref
http://php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=reserved.variables.server.php&lang=en&scope=404quickref

The "related snippet" text has been broken for a while, it seems. Let's fix it.

Hello, this can be also closed now probably since it's working correctly. I got here from the random link at bugs.php.net and checked if it works.

The fix for this bug has been committed. Since the websites are not directly
updated from the repository, the fix might need some time to spread
across the globe to all mirror sites, including PHP.net itself.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP.net better.

Thanks for reminding me, Peter.  Closing this out now.
