Status: Bogus
Bug Type: IIS related
Operating System: Win 2K
PHP Version: 4.0.6

My 2 cents on the CGI error issue:
The CGI error discussed here also happens, if you done everything
strictly to the books (aka. install.txt), but have a multi-user setup
on Windows 2k, and have your account within the Administrators (and
probably any other restricted) group.
Then, any new directory you create, inherits rights from your group.
For IIS to be able to access your directory properly, you must have set
access rights for "Everyone" for the folder where your php (or, for
that matter, any other CGI) scripts are located.
Allowing the default settings (for "Everyone") to be inherited while
denying "Write" access rights (you don't want to have those) works fine
for me.
Using php -i, or php <myfile.php> from the command line does NOT reveal
this problem: it works just fine. The problem only occurs when you want
to access the page from any browser.
Hope it helps.
Michael

I am using advance server running iis on several machines with php. I
understand that this error means many things. What does it mean when
you get it intermit tingly? I go to the page and get the error. Refresh
the page and it loads. It doesn't happen every time nor does it occur
on the same page. But it happens frequent enough to be a problem. Is
there any correlation between the exe version and the error. Reason I
ask is because on one server I run the dll I have not had one single
502 in my log file. But with the exe it occurs every day.

Hello,
I'm writing in regards to this error----->
cgi error:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not
returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it
did return are:
I've been to every message forum around the world and back and got
nothing. What it did get me looking at lots was the php.ini file. I
run a Win 2000 Server with the latest greast PHP 4.3.1 mySQL and IIS.
When it hit me like a bull in a china shop, I've got this all up and
running on my XP pro system to test my code on, let's look at that
php.ini file, so I did. And I saw it.....
XP setting: doc_root =
IIS setting: doc_root = C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
OK so I set my IIS php.ini doc_root to the XP setting
doc_root =
...and WaBLAM! It worked!

The "misbehaving" error is generated from working with notepad, then
saving the file:
myphpfile.php
What actually gets saved is this:
myphpfile.php.txt
Be sure to drop down the menu to All Files *.* to eliminate the default
.txt extension from be appended. Alternatively, enable viewing of
file-extensions and delete the .txt from the end of the file.
I cannot however figure out the "undefined variable" problem with
Windows 2000/XP. If you have a form and create a post action, the data
should be passed so that:
I should be able to use HTML like this:
<input type="text" size="5" value="" name="myvar">
And then use PHP in the same, or separate PHP file to reference the
variable with $myvar. This does NOT work with Windows. When this
variable is referenced in the code, an undefined variable error
results. Editing the php.ini file is NOT a solution, but does get rid
of the error (of course!) Instead of displaying the error, the data is
non-existent/empty/not displayed/inacessible.
I found a webpage that used the following to obtain all variables, so
the data IS being processed and IS accessible, but not as it should
be.
This code (found elsewhere) will list all variables and correctly
display their contents:
<?php
print "Posted variables: <br>";
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key=>$value)
print $key . " = " . $value . "<br>";
?>
I suppose one could use this as a work-around.
Any ideas?

this is not a bug, you are just using dlls from previous versions of
PHP. get the new dlls and overwrite the old ones. i just posted a note
about this under the Installation for Windows section of the Manual.

I was facing this problem when writing a code on the w9x Notepad and
modifying it by win2k editors or viseversa ... seems to be a problem
converting between unicode and ASCII.. in my humble openion (donno if
it's even right!) do it all on one editor.
