    $GLOBALS array

    Hi all

    I'm not quite new to PHP, but also not very proficient in its use, so
    please excuse me if my question is a FAQ. Perhaps I didn't know the right
    terms, but google wasn't my friend this time :-)


    I had a page running on a host which worked perfectly fine. Then, one day,
    it stopped working since strangly some values in the $GLOBALS array are
    not set. For example things such as $GLOBALS["_GET"], $GLOBALS["_POST"],
    $GLOBALS["_ENV"] and $GLOBALS["_SERVER"] are just set to NULL. It would be
    fine with me, if they were just empty arrays (as they are on my
    test-system on the laptop), but I would really hate to hack into vBulletin
    to get it to run again.

    My suspicion is that the hosting company changed their php.ini, but they
    have a lousy service, haven't gotten any answer from them for months
    now. So I don't expect them to help me here either.

    Thanks for any help

      Re: $GLOBALS array

      Do a print_r($LOBALS ), maybe you misspelled the keys.

          And you mispelled GLOBALS.
          ;-)

          But besides the typo: good advise.

              :-)

              I already did, and it looks like:

              Array (<stuff left out[_GET] =[_POST] =)

              On my laptop it looks like:

              Array (<stuff left out[_GET] =array() [_POST] =array() )


              So there definitely is a difference.

                  Hi,

                  To make the print_r() more readable, use <pre>

                  <pre>
                  <?php print_r($GLOBAL S); ?>
                  </pre>

                  But more usefull maybe in your situation:

                  <pre>
                  <?php print_r($_POST) ; ?>
                  </pre>

                  and

                  <pre>
                  <?php print_r($_GET); ?>
                  </pre>

                  Regards,
                  Erwin

                      well, they are just not set... a test for $_GET==NULL or $_POST==NULL
                      returns true.

                      thanks for the formatting tip!

                          Glad I could help with the formatting.
                          But sorry, I have no clue why $_GET and $_POST are NULL.
                          I never saw that before.
                          Contact your (lazy) ISP and kick his/her lazy ass.
                          If you pay for their service they should help you with such enormous
                          problems ($_GET and $_POST are completely accepted and used everywhere, I
                          couldn't make an app without them).

                          Good luck. :-/

                              that's where the problems start, our club virtually pays nothing. it's
                              like "i know somebody who's married to someone else who does some
                              hosting"... not the way i would have chosen, but i'm stuck with it...

                              so you don't know of any directive which could cause such a thing to
                              happen?

                              thanks for the help anyways!

                                  that's where the problems start, our club virtually pays nothing. it's
                                  like "i know somebody who's married to someone else who does some
                                  hosting"... not the way i would have chosen, but i'm stuck with it...

                                  Yes, that is the problem with free services: You cannot treaten to walk
                                  away. :-/
                                  so you don't know of any directive which could cause such a thing to
                                  happen?
                                  No sorry.
                                  I am one of those spoiled guys with their own server, so it is my php.ini,
                                  and I only changed stuff I understood.

                                  Maybe you can repost your question, rephrasing your problem and what you
                                  tried, the settings that may be of importance, maybe a dump of your php.ini
                                  file.
                                  That helps sometimes.
                                  Some (many) visitors only look at recent post (last few days) and they
                                  mayhap missed this thread.

                                  Good luck.

                                  Regards,
