New Comment:
This is a doc problem, not a feature request. Not sure when this
behavior changed but I just tested and register_globals does not affect
get_browser() in PHP 4.3.0 but a user comment suggests this problem
existed as of 10-Jan-2002 so it needs to be researched.
a) When was this fixed? Document what it means.
b) Remove the $, and refer to $_SERVER in docs
c) If it turns out this wasn't fixed, reopen as a bug

I have a remark about the get_browser() function. When this function is
called without arguments it is supposed to use $HTTP_USER_AGENT for
argument. However if I use the
configuration directive
register_globals = Off
then the variable $HTTP_USER_AGENT is not defined and get_browser()
returns an error. In this case I have to do the following
$HTTP_USER_AGENT = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
$browser = get_browser();
or alternatively
$a = getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
$browser = get_browser($a);
I suggest that get_browser() function should act more cleverly in this
case and use getenv() to get the HTTP_USER_AGENT.
