In this bug report: variables_order affects existence of php predefined variables * http://bugs.php.net/16155
The following tentative plan was made by Zeev: (a) Decouple variables_order from the $_* / $HTTP_*_VARS completely. (b) Make it possible to prevent $_ENV and $_SERVER from being populated. Something like: server_autoglobal = on env_autoglobal = off (c) It shouldn't be possible to prevent $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, and $_FILES from being populated. This is a pretty interesting change, the php-dev crew may want to discuss it (and implement!).
