This is now documented, this problem exists prior to 4.0.6 and the diff to php4 source can be seen here: http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/php4/ext/standard/browscap.c?r1=1.42&r2=1.43 Doc changes can be seen here: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/reference/misc/functions/get-browser.xml Thank you for the report and making PHP better :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-29 23:07:34] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm leaving this open until someone can test with an older version, I don't feel like it right now :) But, the docs are now register_globals = off friendly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-04 10:31:49] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-09-03 09:20:11] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=6513&edit=1 -- PHP Documentation Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
