$_SERVER not working

[Puneet]

I really loosing sleep over this one. I have php 4.4 running on Apache
2.... php works fine. phpinfo() retuns everything as it should..
However when I try to print anything using $_SERVER e.g $_SERVER
['HTTP_HOST']... it returns nothing. Then I realized that even $_GET
and $_POST are not working. All the uper globals are not working. They
just come back with e.g Array ['HTTP_HOST']... Can any body help?

Sound like you need some curly brackets:

echo "{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}";

Nope.. If i use your code.. then I am getting this..

PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\_debug_tmp.php on line 5
If i use
Print "Host is : $_SERVER ['HTTP_HOST']";

The I am getting..
Host is : Array ['HTTP_HOST']

That a space between the SERVER and ['HTTP Oops, take it out.

Then it is (probably) not present in the http-request. Blame your
browser/proxy.

Perhaps you can use 'SERVER_NAME' instead.

If i use
Print "Host is : $_SERVER ['HTTP_HOST']";
Wouldn't work. When using an array inside an string, you will need the curly
brackets to tell PHP to use the index.
The I am getting..
Host is : Array ['HTTP_HOST']

Since the index is not used, it just tells you that $_SERVER is an array.

Thanx Bent... That helped..
I rewrote the code as :-
print "Host port is :". $_SERVER ['SERVER_PORT'] ;

and it worked...

There has to be a space between SERVER and [.. otherwise PHP throws an
exception.

Not on any system I've ever used. The space is optional.

However - if you don't have the curly braces around it, I can see where PHP
might get confused.
