variable interpolation syntax (SERVER_SIGNATURE)

[Peter Horst]

I have a tiny custom 404 script I'm working on; I'd like to imitate the
standard Apache 404 page insofar as I'd like "Apache/1.3.29 Server at
www.example.com Port 80" to appear below my 404 message.

The problem is that when I try to interpolate
$_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATU RE'] into the html output of my script it
produces a link of the following (incorrect) format:

http://www.example.com/\"mailto:webmas ter@example.com \"

I've tried placing the contents of SERVER_SIGNATUR E into a variable in
the php code in my page:

$VAR = $_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATU RE'];

....and tried direct interpolation in the html output:

echo "$_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATU RE']";

Can I get a clue here?

Thanks.

Didn't figure out why it was happening, but I worked around it by
eliminating the '\' character in the output string:

$VAR = str_replace("\\ ", "", $_SERVER['SERVER_SIGNATU RE']);
