Empty $_ENV array

[LostProgrammer]

Hey all,

I hope someone can help me here.  I've recently integrated a third party CGI script into a website I was developing.  After a few little initial bumps I got eveything up and running but there is a problem on my local testing environment - the $_ENV array is always empty.

 

Locally I'm running Windows Vista with PHP 5 and Apache 2.2.  Everything else works and I have global_vars switched off (have read in a few places that can cause issues).  I've done a test on the production server which is running similar software versions but on Linux and I can print the $_ENV array without a problem.

 

Does anyone know what might be causing it?  When I check to see if putenv() succeeds it returns true.  My _POST, _GET, _SERVER arrays are all good.

 

Oh I should explain this Perl script requires environment variables for authentication purposes.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would prefer to avoid having to test on the production server if I can.

 

Thanks

Lost!

You need to add an E to the following php.ini setting (stop and start your web server to get any change made to php.ini to take effect.)

 

Change this -

variables_order = "GPCS"

 

To this -

variables_order = "GPCSE"
