Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Apache2 related
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 4.3.3.
New Comment:
OK, this was not fixed by the latest snapshot, which I just tried, and
still get the same results... Please reopen this bug, its not bogus.
Here's more info, let me know if you need anything else.
I've installed apache 2.0.48 with the latest php 4.3.4 snapshot. I
always have register globals off in both php.ini and defined that way
in the vhost too. I always refer to the variable as
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].
I have about 80 virtualhosts set up, and I've had a wide variety of
them have the DOCUMENT_ROOT var get the wrong pathname. But the weird
thing is that when the pathname is wrong, its always the same path from
another vhost. The wierd thing is, that particular vhost doesnt really
stand out in any obvious way... its not the first vhost in the config,
its not the last either... kinda in the middle. its not alphabetically
first or last, its not the site that gets the most traffic, nor the
least. The only thing unusual about it is that it has alot of complex
mod_rewriting going on, however, its not the only vhost that uses
complex mod_rewriting either.... so I'm kinda stumped as to why it
always seems to have the _same_wrong_path_ in the DOCUMENT_ROOT
variable!
If you want or need any more info, please just ask or tell me what to
do!

OK, I've got similar but even weirder problem. I just installed the
latest production releases of apache2/php and now I occasionally get
_wrong_ values in the DOCUMENT_ROOT variable. Instead of containing
the pathname of the current virtual host, it sometimes contains the
pathname of a different virtual host also configured on this server!
There is definitely some problem here, if I click from vhost site to
vhost site, I can get these errors repeatedly. Since I'm including
files based on the DOCUMENT_ROOT, it manifests itself as an error that
looks like this:
Warning:
main(/home/wrongwebsite/www/includes/functions_generic.php): failed to
open stream: No such file or directory in
/home/correctwebsite/www/includes/config.php on line 47
In this example its _should_ be including the file functions_generic
from "correctwebsite", not "wrongwebsite"
After the first instance of this error, it seems to go away until I
switch to another website, where it may or may not happen again...
FYI, here are the flags set in my virtualhost:
php_admin_flag engine on
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
php_admin_flag register_globals off
php_admin_flag display_errors on

If you had bothered searching the bug database first you would have
find couple of dozen similar reports. And also that this is most likely
FIXED in CVS. (get stable snapshot from http://snaps.php.net/ )

Sorry about that. I'm not the pro on stuff like this.
But I try again:
Configuration:
--------------
'./configure' '--with-apxs2=/opt/httpd-2.0.47/bin/apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd2' '--prefix=/opt/
php-4.x' '--enable-versioning' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-
dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr' '--with-bz2' '--with-
freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-
debug=no' '--with-exec-dir=/opt/php-4.x/run' '--enable-
track-vars=yes' '--disable-cgi' '--enable-calendar' '--
with-ttf' '--with-imap' '--with-ft' '--with-xml' '--
with-mhash' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-bcmath' '--with-
snmp' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--enable-ucd-snmp-
compatibility' '--with-pdflib=/opt/pdflib-4.0' '--with-
zlib' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-openssl' '--with-
wddx' '--with-crack' '--with-kerberos' '--with-gettext'
Reproduce code:
---------------
register_globals: "<?=ini_get('register_globals')?>"
$GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] = "<?
=$GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"];?>
$DOCUMENT_ROOT: "<?=$DOCUMENT_ROOT?>"
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]: "<?=$_SERVER[ 'DOCUMENT_ROOT'
]?>"
Expected result:
----------------
register_globals: "1"
$GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] = "/home/www/
$DOCUMENT_ROOT: "/home/www/"
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]: "/home/www/"
Result (tested on 02/24/04):
--------------
register_globals: "1"
$GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] = ""
$DOCUMENT_ROOT: ""
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]: "/home/www/"
PHP-Version is 4.3.3.
The thing is, that I couldn't reproduce the result today
(02/25). So I guess, you can really let vanish this
report. Thanks for the help anyway.

Second try. (If I have to ask these same things for the 3rd time, this
bug report will vanish mysteriously..)
1. How did you configure Apache? (configure line used)
2. What MPM are you using with Apache?
3. What is register_globals set to WHEN this happens?
(put var_dump(ini_get("register_globals")); in the beginning of your
script, see bug #24253 what a nice short test script looks like)
4. Are you sure there aren't any .htaccess files or vhosts setting
register_globals to something else? Or setting any other php.ini
options? (using php_value, php_admin_value, php_flag or php_admin_flag
directives)
5. How was PHP configured into Apache? (as module or CGI binary??)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

register_globals is always set on. register_globals is
set to on in the php.ini file.
SERVER_SOFTWARE:
Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) mod_perl/1.99_09 Perl/v5.6.1
