Debugging with the use of $HTTP_POST_VARS

Hi,

I am using Apache with DreamweaverMx/Phakt configuration. The interface is done between page and php by $HTTP_POST_VARS with form variables that have been posted. Such as the hidden field $HTTP_POST_VARS("MM_insert"). When I run the page via the browser these fields are updated and contain the information that I want. When I try phped in a debugging session they are always undefined. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Is php.ini file wrongly pointed-to, or something else wrong

Hello,

I have just started using PHPEd, and it is quite intuitive to handle. Also the doc is easily browsed, as is the support site. But still, I have a problem that I don't see answered at first sight: my Windows browser browsing a Linux machine (that in turn has MySQL, PHP and Apache) correctly handles the code, using global variables. But PHPEd does not seem to detet that setting. However, I DO have the same php.ini on both environments, and both ARE containing register_globals = On.
In the documentation and the support pages, I see this fenomenon (i.e., a different behaviour between both setups) coming back with 'register_globals' as the cause of all trouble. But in my case, both code bases ARE the same (the one is a link over Samba to my Linux box code, so there's no doubt on that), and BOTH php.ini's ALSO are the same (double checked already several times).
Debugging otherwise works OK (debug dll has been renamed from the proper version), so why could there still be a different behaviour ?
(My setting on Linux : MySQL 4.0.15a, PHP 4.3.3, on Windows : PHPEd 3.2.1)

Thanks for any helpful support,

Kind regards,

Philippe Bertin.

Was this due to a bug, or did I wrongly use the program ?

I found the problem, but it was not as intuitive as I expected: seems that when you change the settings (Tools - Settings - Debug tab, php.ini file setting), this setting is NOT taken into account, is it ? Because when I change that setting to have php.ini point to the php.ini of my remote computer's php.ini (in my case : Y:php.ini), and then let PHPEd generate a phpinfo()- file, PHPEd continues to give the php.ini setting of C:/Program Files/...., i.e. the standard setting for PHPEd.

Once I changed the file in C:/Program Files/... to be the same as my remote (Linux server) PC's php.ini (i.e., with 'register-globals' truly set to 'On' this time), everything worked fine.

What is wrong here ? Is this a bug, of just a wrong usage of the program ? Could I eventually have found this in the documentation ?

Kind regards

When you open php.ini in PHPED you just open a file for editing. It's not the way for specifying where php should get php.ini from.
If you want to change location of PHP.INI you have to add SYSTEM wide environment variable named PHPRC.
Read php manual for further details.
