[PHP] DOCUMENT_ROOT disappeared on me!

[David E. Weekly]

All,

I upgraded from PHP 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 today along with revving Apache to 1.3.26
from 1.3.22, and, woe is me, my $DOCUMENT_ROOT now evaluates to "" on all of
my PHP pages!

phpinfo() shows "DOCUMENT_ROOT" being set correctly under the Apache
variables category. I tried several variations, including setting "global
$DOCUMENT_ROOT:" and "$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}" and "$GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]"
and so forth, but all to no avail. Good 'ol $DOCUMENT_ROOT seems quite gone,
and I wasn't able to find mentions of this happening to others on the 'Net.
Any pointers?

Kevin,

After many tries, that is what indeed worked, but I'm a little irked, since
shouldn't it have been that setting register_global to "On" in my php.ini
would re-enable these base globals? I had to retool all of my scripts. =/

I agree and understand why, but...

I agree. =)

Yes. Full stop/start cycle.
