php 4.2.2 HTTP_HOST environment variable

Anon

I download and installed php 4.2.2 to my Win2k Apache server.
For some reason I can't use the environment variable anymore.

I used the $HTTP_HOST variable through out my whole site.

and I can't even echo the following environment variable anymore.
$HTTP_HOST
$HTTP_USER_AGENT

I read the doc and found out that there are some changes regarding environment variable. But I'm not sure if that would effect those variables.

Any suggestion?

Ok I just solve this problem

Based on news.txt [Inside php package]:

22 Apr 2002, Version 4.2.0
- ATTENTION!! register_globals defaults to 'off' now !!!

Changing register_globals to "on" at php.ini solve this problem.

There is also a note in php.ini:
; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do
; not require register_globals to be on; using form variables
; as globals can easily lead to possible security problems, if
; the code is not very well thought of.

Is there really a better way to rewrite this without turning on the register_globals ?

$ENV['HTTP_HOST'] and $ENV['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] would be those environment variables, but I'm not sure if they're in $ENV or $SERVER.

If you want to check, just make a script with only this code:
<?PHP
echo '<PRE>';
print_r($GLOBALS);
echo '</PRE>';
