PHP variable empty

Hi!

When I do the following:

Code:

<?echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];?>

the output is empty ... why?

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_SERVER_VARS

but what should be wrong here:

Code:

<?php $downdir="/downdir/"; include($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$downdir."showit.php"); ?>

on other servers with PHP5 it works without any problems ...

*** confused again ***

 

How to solve it?

I can't rewrite all my scripts. I need it.

Code:

$HTTP_POST_FILES[ 'image' . $imgformat['id'] ];
$HTTP_GET_VARS = stripslashes_array( $HTTP_GET_VARS );
$HTTP_REFERER = str_replace( "http://", "", $HTTP_REFERER );
...

I need to enable it - all my sites will not work without it.

This did not help:

Code:

    if( !ini_get( "register_globals" ) || get_magic_quotes_gpc() )
    {
      if($version < 4.1) {
        @extract( $HTTP_GET_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_POST_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_ENV_VARS );
      }
      else {
        @extract( $_GET );
        @extract( $_POST );
        @extract( $_SERVER );
        @extract( $_COOKIE );
        @extract( $_ENV );
      }
    }

 

Did you try something like this

Code:

if (!isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS)){
// Depreciated variable HTTP_SERVER_VARS is not declared.. hack to populate it with information from $_SERVER
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS = $_SERVER;
}

 

will check your suggestion. i did it like that - but it did not work and i don't know why ... on other servers it works without any problems (same suse and same php version):

Code:

    // Do some version handling stuff
    $full_version = preg_replace("/[^0-9\.]+/", "", phpversion());
    $version = $full_version - 0;

    if( get_magic_quotes_gpc() )
    {
      if($version < 4.1) {
        $HTTP_GET_VARS = stripslashes_array( $HTTP_GET_VARS );
        $HTTP_POST_VARS = stripslashes_array( $HTTP_POST_VARS );
        $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS = stripslashes_array( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS );
      }
      else {
        $_GET = stripslashes_array( $_GET );
        $_POST = stripslashes_array( $_POST );
        $_COOKIE = stripslashes_array( $_COOKIE );
      }
    }

    if( !ini_get( "register_globals" ) || get_magic_quotes_gpc() )
    {
      if($version < 4.1) {
        @extract( $HTTP_GET_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_POST_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_SERVER_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS );
        @extract( $HTTP_ENV_VARS );
      }
      else {
        @extract( $_GET );
        @extract( $_POST );
        @extract( $_SERVER );
        @extract( $_COOKIE );
        @extract( $_ENV );
      }
    }

Tryed also register_long_arrays in /etc/php5/ ... and restarted apache, but same like before - no success.

 

Did you modify the correct php.ini? The correct php.ini is listed in the output of phpinfo().

 

think so, because it shows: Configuration File (php.ini) Path /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

 

and ... have created two identical vhosts (only domain name different).

then copied files from host a into /web on host b

on host a all works well

on hast b i get permanent php error. but the i have identical files (cp -r ...).

Code:

<?php
$bs_mysql_handle = @mysql_connect($mysql['host'], $mysql['user'], $mysql['pass']);
if(!$bs_mysql_handle) {
        dbError("connect");
        exit();
};
if (!mysql_select_db($mysql['db'], $bs_mysql_handle)) {
        dbError("db");
        exit();
};
?>

on vhost a - no error - works
on vhost b:

Code:

[Mon Jul 30 21:33:25 2007] [error] [client 1.2.3.4] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function dbError() in /home/www/web27/web/funktionen/funktionen.php on line 4

i become completly silly here ... how can this happen that identical scripts did not work on identical hosts? both hosts are on same server. only domainname is different ...

 

thanks for fast response.

here it is:

Additional I have rechecked for any .htaccess files, but there aren't any .htaccess (only auth in a subdir). All files are identical (copied with cp -r). I changed only mysql-settings and replaced web12 with web27 in second server (path settings). The result is one works, the other not. I have never seen such a thing before. I already found a few strange things in case of the suhosin - but now that variables $_SERVER Document root are shown with phpinfo() but when using in script they are empty, and two identical servers, where one did work and the other not is really quite strange ...

 

Are both servers using the same IP address?

 

yes. server has only 1 ip address in use which is shared by all vhosts

 

I thought you were talking about multiple servers, not multiple vhosts... So you have to web sites on the same server, and PHP is working fine for one web site, but not for the other?

 

yes. 2 vhosts on one ispconfig server.

the one and only difference is the tld-domain (one .com other .us).

all files are copied via cp -r into other vhost.

result:

one vhost work
other vhost did not work

i have never seen such a thing before that why i ask the developer

 

I also tried to switch the hosts - means:

first created com, second us
then us later com

- there I recognized that only always the host which was created first is working - no matter which domain it's using.

 

Can you post your full Vhosts_ispconfig.conf and mark the two vhosts?
