register_globals also affects Apache variables?

[Caz]

Just posted about the HTTP_GET variable not being directly available for my script, the register_globals directive was the reason for this, and the problem is solved, thank to the http_get_vars array.

Now i have the same question about the Apache variables, like $http_user_agent
They are not set either, so i guess there is another way to reach those, but the few attempts i've made with http_get_vars were unsuccessful...

There again, the variables work (i.e are automatically set) on the w2000 server (register_globals on) and not on the solaris (register_globals off)

I hope it's ok creating another thread for this question, which is somewhat different from my previous one?

You might try using the $SERVER array. Like this

$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

I think you can access all the Apache variable this way, plus some other ones.

//Run this to see all the $_SERVER array keys and values
phpinfo()

The $_SERVER array works ok!

Thanks for the tip about phpinfo!
I've used this command many times, but sometimes things just don't connect by themselves, you helped me understand quite a bit!
