Bug description:  Validating $_SERVER tampering

Description:
------------
I would like to propose a solution that will allow to test whether
$_SERVER (or similar ) predefined variables have been changed since PHP
initialized them.

string predefinedVarHash(string predefinedVar)

PHP at runtime, after variables have been initialized/loaded, would store
the serialized hash of the predefined variable that could be later
retrieved by the above function.











Reproduce code:
---------------
e.g.

<?php

$md5Hash = predefinedVarHash("SERVER");

if ($md5Hash !== md5(serialize($_SERVER)))
   die('$_SERVER changed');
else
   echo '$_SERVER has not been changed';
?>

Expected result:
----------------
This would allow us to validate the information stored in the variable,
while still allowing us to legitimately change the value of $_SERVER or
other predefind variables.
