This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Description:
------------
My PHP is compiled statically into Apache 1.3.27:
./configure --with-mysql --with-oracle --with-oci8 --enable-sigchild
--with-db3 --with-ldap --with-zlib --with-gd
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/libmcrypt-2.5.7 --with-curl=/usr/local
--with-apache=/usr/local/apache_1.3.27

In PHP 4.3.3RC1, the variables $DOCUMENT_ROOT and $PHP_SELF seem to
have disappeared completely, even if register_globals is on.

Accessing these variables through $_SERVER or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS works
fine.

In PHP 4.3.2 (and - to my knowledge - in all previous 3.x and 4.x
versions), $DOCUMENT_ROOT and $PHP_SELF are there as long as
register_globals is on.

This breaks backwards compatibility quite awfully. Any chance that this
change will be reverted? (If not, please at least make a big note in
the NEWS/ChangeLog...)

I'm no C programmer and I don't understand what's going on there, but I
saw that php4/main/php_variables.c had been changed...

Reproduce code:
---------------
register_globals: "<?=ini_get('register_globals')?>"
$PHP_SELF: "<?=$PHP_SELF?>"
$_SERVER[ PHP_SELF ]: "<?=$_SERVER[ 'PHP_SELF' ]?>"
$DOCUMENT_ROOT: "<?=$DOCUMENT_ROOT?>"
$_SERVER[ DOCUMENT_ROOT ]: "<?=$_SERVER[ 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' ]?>"


Expected result:
----------------
register_globals: "1"
$PHP_SELF: "/test.php"
$_SERVER[ PHP_SELF ]: "/test.php"
$DOCUMENT_ROOT: "/home/www"
$_SERVER[ DOCUMENT_ROOT ]: "/home/www"

Actual result:
--------------
register_globals: "1"
$PHP_SELF: ""
$_SERVER[ PHP_SELF ]: "/test.php"
$DOCUMENT_ROOT: ""
$_SERVER[ DOCUMENT_ROOT ]: "/home/www"
